Rashleigh, Wembworthy

Rashleigh is an historic former manor in the parish of Wembworthy, Devon. Rashleigh Barton, the former manor house, is a grade II* listed building, situated 5 miles north-east of the village of Wembworthy. It was the earliest known seat of the ancient Rashleigh family, a junior branch of which is still seated at Menabilly in Cornwall (see Rashleigh Baronets), and in the 16th century, on the failure of the male line, passed from the senior line of the Rashleigh family via a sole heiress to the Clotworthy family of Clotworthy in the same parish of Wembworthy.
