Ugbrooke Park
The history of Ugbrooke goes back to at least the 11th century, when the manor was mentioned in the Domesday Book. During the Middle Ages the house was owned by the Church and occupied by a series of Precentors to the Bishop of Exeter. After the Reformation the house passed into the ownership of the Lords Clifford of Chudleigh, in whose possession it still resides.

In the middle of the 18th century the owners decided to rebuilt the existing manor in the new neo-classical style that was making such an impact in English fashion at that time. They called in two masters of the age, Robert Adam and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to transform the house and gardens respectively.
