Background
History
The house, formerly called Standlynch Park, was built on the ancient manor of Standlynch, The Beauchamp family held the manor during the Tudor period, after which it was bought by the Greene family, who owned it until the 17th century, when it was sold to the Buckland family.
Architecture
Standlynch Manor was bought by Sir Peter Vandeput in 1726. Sir Peter died in 1748, bequeathing the estate to his son George, who in 1752 sold it to Sir William Young. Henry Dawkins bought it from Young for £22,000 in 1765. Dawkins died in 1814, and the executors of the estate sought buyers.
