Summary
[edit]DescriptionPiltonHouse Pilton Devon Circa1746.jpg |
English: Crenellated grand mansion house possibly Pilton House in the parish of Pilton, near Barnstaple, North Devon, a Georgian mansion house built in 1746 by Robert Incledon (1676-1758), twice Mayor of Barnstaple, whose very ancient family originated at the manor of Incledon, near Braunton. It is situated almost in the centre of the ancient town of Pilton, but had formerly extensive grounds covering at least 20 acres, which extended down "Pilton Lawn", now built over, to the River Yeo. It later served as the residence for various Members of Parliament for Barnstaple, for which it was well suited being only a 10-minute walk from the centre of that town, yet in a secluded situation with extensive grounds, and sufficiently large and grand for entertaining borough officials and electors. Detail from an undocumented 18th century (?) oil painting now in the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon, Barnstaple, showing a distant view from the west bank of the River Taw, of the adjacent towns of Barnstaple and Pilton. Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon has no information, whether regarding provenance, date or subject matter, on this very large painting hanging on the wall of the first floor, which dominates the staircase of the museum building in Barnstaple. The house depicted is a central element in the composition, thus it was possibly commissioned by Robert Incledon (1676-1758) himself, and donated to the Borough of Barnstaple by him. |
