 Delamere Lodge (later retitled Delamere House), with its parkland, was built of Devon granite and became a symbol of the almost baronial power in the district of the Wilbrahams.During almost two centuries the family owned and controlled thousands of acres of land and farms around Cuddington and neighbouring villages.They also employed a veritable army of staff and built numerous workers' cottages and farmhouses, most of which survive to this day.
