Rockbeare Manor, also known as ‘Rock Wood’ was given by the Bishop of Bath and Wells to Matilda, Countess of Gloucester in the reign of Edward III. The manor belonged formerly to Canonsleigh-abbey, while at the Reformation it was acquired by the Sainthill family. The original house was built c. 1760-70 and owned by Sir John Duntze.

Roman links

Evidence for Rockbeare to have been part of a Roman settlement came from the University of Exeter’s Archaeology team. The team also uncovered archaeological features and significant amounts of imported Roman pottery, along with locally made goods.
