Harford, Devon

Stowford House is a former manor house in the South Hams district of Devon. It is close to the village of Harford. The building was designated a Grade II listed building on 23 April 1952. The house was the birthplace of Thomas Williams, speaker at the House of Commons, and John Prideaux, Bishop of Worcester. There has been a manor house on the grounds since the 14th century, and in 1400 there was a private chapel dedicated to St Nicholas. By 1664, the manor house and out buildings were recorded as having 14 hearths, implying that the house was much larger at the time. The house was significantly rebuilt during the 18th century, but parts of the old house from the 16th century remain. Built from stone rubble, the building is partly rendered, and partly ashlar. The roof of the building is slate, with external chimneystack on the north side. On the north and west sides of the buildings courtyard the mullion windows are bordered by hollow-chamfered stone. Over the west wing of the house, there is a large chimneystack made of stone, with battlements at the top. On the north end of the house, there is a moulded stone chimneystack. The front aspect of the building has a glaze porch, which includes pilasters. Inside the house is a large fireplace made of granite. One of the first-floor rooms has panelling from the 18th century, with a 16th-century moulded stone fireplace. The other rooms on the floor have granite fireplaces, one topped with an ogee. The building has been divided into three separate homes.

Ivybridge is a town and civil parish in the South Hams, in Devon, England. It lies about thirteen miles (twenty-one kilometres) east of Plymouth. It is at the southern extremity of Dartmoor, a National Park of England and Wales and lies along the A38 "Devon Expressway" road. There are two electoral wards in Ivybridge East and Ivybridge West with a total population of 11,851. Mentioned in documents as early as the 13th century, Ivybridge's early history is marked by its status as an important crossing-point over the River Erme on the road from Exeter to Plymouth. In the 16th century mills were built using the River Erme's power. The parish of Saint John was formed in 1836. Ivybridge became a civil parish in 1894 and a town in 1977. The early urbanisation and development of Ivybridge largely coincided with the Industrial Revolution. Stowford Paper Mill was built in 1787 and rebuilt again in the 1860s with extensive investment. In 1848 the South Devon Railway arrived on the northern edge of the village. The paper mill closed in 2013 after 226 years in Ivybridge and the buildings are being converted to homes and shops. Ivybridge is often referred to as a commuter town, although a small proportion of people work in the town itself, and agriculture continues to play an economic role for the surrounding area. The area surrounding Ivybridge is varied and complex, including river valleys, farmland and dense woodland. While heavy industry diminished during the latter half of the 20th century, the population grew significantly from 1,574 people in 1921 to 12,056 in 2001.
