metres south of Mohuns Ottery
Farmhouse
GV II*
Ruins of gatehouse and adjoining garden walls. The gatehouse is mid C16 and built
by Sir Peter Carew, the walls are probably mid C19 (contemporary with the 1868
rebuild of the farmhouse). Local stone and flint rubble with Beerstone ashlar
dressings and detail. Only the bottom stage remains of what must have been a 2 or
3-storey rectangular building on north-south axis. Each end (north and south) are
carriageway arches. They are 4-centred arches with moulded surrounds and spandrels
superbly carved with heraldic devices with Renaissance style foliage and putti and
hoodmoulds. The front doorway is flanked by late C19 cream-coloured brick
buttresses. The side walls are blind although there is a patch of blocking on the
west side which might represent a blocked doorway. A mass of masonry against the
east wall may represent a stair. The gatehouse is roofless.
The path from the gatehouse to the farmhouse is lined by mid C19 low stone rubble
walls and there is a mounting block on the outside of the west wall. From each side
of the front of the gatehouse are similar garden boundary walls.
This gatehouse was probably built by Sir Peter Carew (1512 - 75) who died on the
Mary Rose.
