Heanton Satchville, Huish in 1828

Heanton Satchville is an estate in the parish of Huish in Devon. It took its name from the nearby former ancient estate of Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe. It is the seat of Baron Clinton[1] who owns the largest private estate in Devon, known as Clinton Devon Estates.

History

In 1797,

Bicton House, inherited from his paternal uncle Mark Rolle (d.1907) had nevertheless remained the 21st Baron's principal seat until his death in 1957.[8] The 21st Baron Clinton died without male issue, and the title, having briefly fallen into abeyance, was eventually inherited in 1965 by Gerard Fane, the grandson of his eldest daughter Harriet Trefusis,[9]
who also inherited the vast Clinton estates and changed his surname to "Fane-Trefusis". Today Heanton Satchville remains the principal residence of the Fane-Trefusis family, Barons Clinton.
