Great Fulford is an historic estate in the parish of Dunsford, Devon. The grade I listed[2] manor house, known as Great Fulford House, is about 9 miles west of Exeter. Its site was said in 1810 to be "probably the most ancient in the county".[3] The present mansion house is Tudor (16th century) with refurbishment from the late 17th century and further remodelling from about 1800.[4] The prefix "Great" dates from the late 17th century and served to distinguish it from the mansion house known as "Little Fulford"[5] in the parish of Shobrooke, Devon, about 8 miles to the north-east, also owned briefly by Col. Francis Fulford (1666–1700), as a result of his marriage to the heiress of the Tuckfield family. Great Fulford has been the residence of the Fulford family (originally "de Fulford"), which took its name from the estate, from the reign of King Richard I (1189–1199) to the present day. There are thus few, if any, families in Devonshire of more ancient recorded origin still resident at their original seat.[6] In 2004 the estate comprised 3,000 acres (1200 ha).[7]

Descent

The descent of the estate was as follows:[8]

Honour of Okehampton

In the

Honour of Okehampton, was later inherited by the Courtenay family, later Earls of Devon
.

Modbert

Baldwin FitzGilbert's tenant in 1086 was Modbert, who also held from him the Devonshire manors of Kelly,[10] Broadwood Kelly,[11] Eggbeer[12] and Uppacott.[13]

Kelly

Modbert's heirs in all these five manors appear to have been the de Kelly family,[14] which as recorded in the Book of Fees continued to hold from the Honour of Okehampton, and which survives today in 2014 as one of the most ancient of Devonshire families, still resident at Kelly House, the manor house of Kelly, Devon. (Coincidentally the present owner of Kelly House also appeared on the TV reality show Country House Rescue which featured Francis Fulford, the present owner of Great Fulford, in another episode).

Pre-15th century Fulfords

The de Fulford family is first recorded as resident at Fulford during the reign of King Richard I (1189–1199). According to

Latinized to de Turpi Vado ("from the foul ford" (i.e.muddy ford)).[21] Records of Feudal Aids record John de Kelli had as his tenant of Fulford a certain William de Foleford.[22] The descent of Fulford was as follows:[23]

Sir Baldwin de Fulford (died 1461/1476)

Sir Baldwin de Fulford (died 1476)

Sheriff of Devon in 1460, a Knight of the Sepulchre and Under-Admiral to John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter (died 1447), High Admiral of England.[15] According to the Devonshire biographer John Prince
(1643–1723):

He was a great soldier and a traveller of so undaunted resolution that for the honor and liberty of a royal lady in a castle besieged by the infidels, he fought a combat with a Sarazen, for bulk and bigness an unequal match (as the representation of him cut in the wainscot in Fulford House doth plainly shew), whom yet he vanquish'd, and rescu'd the lady.

In commemoration of this victory

newel post
at the base of the Great Staircase.

He may be the same Sir Baldwin Fulford who as is recorded by Stow (d.1605) was executed in Bristol Castle in 1461, in fulfilment of his bond to King Edward IV that he would either kill the Earl of Warwick, who was then plotting to dethrone the reigning sovereign, or lose his own head.[33]

He married Elizabeth

Powderham, Devon. A monumental brass of Huddesfield and his second wife Katherine Courtenay survives in Shillingford St George Church,[37] and the arms of Bosome (Azure, three bird bolts in pale points downward or) survive in a stained glass window in the same church.[38] By Jennet Bosome, heiress of Bozum's Hele,[39] he had children two sons and two daughters, namely Thomasine Fulford, who married John Wise of Sydenham House, from whom was descended John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford (c. 1485 – 1555), the most powerful magnate in Devon, and another daughter Alice Fulford, who married Sir William Cary of Cockington, from whom was descended Lord Hunsdon and the Earls of Monmouth and Dover.[40] His younger son was John Fulford (died 1518), a Canon of Exeter Cathedral and Archdeacon successively of Totnes, Cornwall and Exeter, whose large black marble ledger stone survives in Exeter Cathedral, behind the high altar[15]
(or in the eastern aisle), inscribed as follows in Gothic letters: Hic jacet magist(er) Joannes Fulford filius Baldwini Fulford milit(i), hui(us) eccle(siae) Resid. pr. Archid. Tottn. deinde Cornub(iae)' ult. Exon, q(ui) obiit xix die Januarii A(nno) D(omini) xv.xviii cui(us) a(n)i(ma)e p(ro)pitietur Deus ("Here lies Master John Fulford, son of Sir Baldwin Fulford, Knight, residentiary of this church, first Archdeacon of Totnes, then of Cornwall, and lastly of Exeter, who died on the ninth day of January in the year of our Lord 1518, on whose soul may God look with favour").[41]

The manor of Bosom's Hele was inherited by the Fulford family[42] and the arms of Bozom appear in the 5th quarter of the 16th century relief sculpted escutcheon over the main entrance to Great Fulford House.

Sir Thomas Fulford (died 1489)

Sir Thomas Fulford (died 1489) (eldest son and heir), who married his step-father's sister-in-law, Phillipa Courtenay, a daughter of Sir Philip Courtenay (died 1463) of

KG), and sister of Katherine Courtenay, second wife of Sir William Huddesfield (died 1499).[43] Vivian (1895) states him to have died on 20 February 1489 with an inquisition post mortem having been held in 1490,[44] but Burke (1838) states him to have been beheaded in 1461 after fighting for the Lancastrians at the Battle of Towton.[45] His second son appears to have been Sir Thomas Fulford who in 1497 was with Edward Courtenay, 1st Earl of Devon (died 1509) at the relief of the City of Exeter following the siege by Perkin Warbeck.[46]

Sir Humphrey Fulford (1467–1508)

Sir Thomas Fulford (1553–1610) (son), who in 1580 married Ursula Bampfield (died 1639), a daughter of

Bampfield Baronets and Barons Poltimore
. His monument survives in Dunsford Church, showing recumbent effigies of himself dressed in full armour and his wife with kneeling figures of his children above, 3 sons and 4 daughters, with profuse heraldry on the cornice of Fulford impaling the arms of various wives, including Bampfield: Or, on a bend gules three mullets argent. It is inscribed on two painted wooden panels:

Heare lyethe Sir Thomas Fulforde who died last day of July Ano Do. 1610. Also his wife Ursula who died 1639 daughter of Richd Bampfield of Poltimore Esqr. Their children: 1st Sir Francis who married Ann heir of Bernard Samways Esqr of Toller, Dorset; 2nd William; 3rd Thomas; 4th Bridget, married to Arthur Champernown Esqr of Dartington; 5th Elizabeth married to John Berriman Esqr; 6th Ann married to John Sydenham of Somerset.

The monument was restored in 1845 by Col. Baldwin Fulford. "The original inscription apparently spoke poisonously of the Roman Catholic Church...at the instigation of a Roman Catholic friend, Dr. Oliver, Col. Baldwin Fulford had the monument restored in 1845, so a new inscription was supplied".[58] The name of Mary,[59] the 4th daughter whose effigy appears on the monument, is omitted.[58] She was the 2nd wife of Sir Ferdinando Gorges (1565/8-1647), founder of the Province of Maine, known as the "Father of English Colonization in North America".

Col. Sir

Sheriff of Dorset for 1642–43.[60] He was fined during the Commonwealth by the Committee for Compounding with Delinquents, but not heavily enough to destroy the family's fortune. He married Elizabeth Samways, a daughter and co-heiress of Bernard Samways of Toller Fratrum and Winsborne in Dorset. He left his wife's Dorset estates, including Toller Fratrum to his 5th, but 2nd surviving, son George Fulford (1619–1685),[61][62] twice MP for Christchurch in Dorset, in 1679 and 1681,[63]

Col. Francis Fulford (1666–1700)

Mural monument to Col. Francis Fulford (1666–1700) in the Fulford Chapel of Dunsford Church

Col.

topographer John Swete (died 1821), it was at this time "When the two Fulfords were the possession of one lord" that the epithets "Great" and "Little" were assigned to each property.[69] According to Swete, Col. Fulford:[70]

May reasonably be supposed to have a predilection for his own inherited mansion to which for the sake of distinction and pre-eminence he would annex the adjunct of 'Great'. Nor will it be consider'd as an appropriation ill-placed, if the reference be made to its superior magnificence and antiquity, in which latter boast it exceeded the other by three centuries.

By his second wife Mary Tuckfield he had one son John Fulford (1692–1693) who died an infant.[62] Mary married secondly in 1704 to Henry Trenchard.[71] Col. Francis Fulford repaired Great Fulford House after the extensive damage it suffered during the Civil War.[21] He died without surviving children. His mural monument survives in the Fulford Chapel of Dunsford Church. Inscribed:

Underneath lies ye body of Francis Fulford of Fulford Esqr who departed this life the 26th day of 7ber[72] 1700 in the 34th year of his age. He was twice marri'd. First to Margaret a daughter of John Lord Poulett the 2d Baron of Henton StGeorge and next to Mary daughter of John Tuckfeild of Fulford near Crediton Esqr by whom he had one son which died nine months old.

In 1805 he employed the architect James Wyatt to remodel the house, which resulted in the removal of the gables and the addition of battlements to the parapets and bay windows at the corners, as presently exists.[76] In 1838 he owned the additional estates of Melhuish, Hackworthy and Eggbeer,[79] and in 1810 Lampford (in the parish of Cheriton Bishop),[80] all adjacent to Great Fulford.
