Two new scanning projects in North Devon this month with surveys of Stafford Manor this house mentioned in the Domesday book and recorded as belonging to Ansger de Montacute, Stafford Manor has possibly existed since the 11th century. By the 1332 Lay Subsidy it had lost its “Manor” status and been subsumed by Iddlecott Manor. The name Stafford Barton as meaning a larger, higher status farmhouse probably dates from Tudor times.
