Winscott, Peters Marland

Winscott was a historic manor in the parish of Peters Marland, north Devon, England.

The old Winscott property had vanished by October 1865 when plans for a large Victorian mansion for Mr J. C. Moore-Stevens were published in The Builder.

Left empty in 1920, it was finally demolished and all that remains today is a flat area in the middle of a field.

His daughter Elizabeth Stevens (1727-1792) married twice, firstly to Robert Awse,[3] and secondly in 1782 to John Clevland (1734-1817) of Tapely, MP for Barnstaple 1766-1802.

[citation needed] According to the death notices in the 1832 Annual Register, Thomas Moore-Stevens died by suicide.

A few specimen trees survive, but all traces of the orchard, terraces, tennis court and walled garden have vanished.
