Blagdon, Paignton

Blagdon in the parish of Paignton in Devon, England, is an historic manor, the seat of the Kirkham family from the 13th to 17th centuries. The manor house known as Blagdon Manor (House) survives as a grade II* listed building about two miles west of the historic centre of the town of Paignton. In the ancient Church of St John, the parish church of Paignton, survives the Kirkham Chantry Chapel, situated between the south aisle and the south transept, "without a doubt the chief interest of the church", consisting of a screen and monuments built by the Kirkham family towards the end of the 15th century.
