Hudscott is a historic estate within the parish and former manor of Chittlehampton, Devon. From 1700[4] it became a seat of a junior branch of the influential Rolle family of Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe and in 1779[5] became a secondary seat of the senior Rolle family of Stevenstone, then the largest landowner in Devon. Hudscott House, classified in 1967 a Grade II* listed building,[6] is situated one mile south-east of the village of Chittlehampton. It was largely rebuilt in the 17th century[7] by the Lovering family and in the late 17th century became a refuge for ejected Presbyterial ministers.[8] In 1737 its then occupant Samuel II Rolle (1703-1747) purchased the manor of Chittlehampton and thus Hudscott House became in effect the manor house of Chittlehampton.[9]
