Clovelly Devon
Church of All Saints stands in the grounds of Clovelly Court, Devon 
The church was begun in the 12c on the site of an earlier timber building.   This Norman church was a simple cruciform building, consisting of a nave, chancel, and transepts.   As the population of  village grew, more space was needed, and in the 14c a north aisle was added.
Originally the estate was owned by William the Conqueror, who gifted it to his wife and there were many royal associations until 1242 when first acquired by the Giffard family for one knights fee.   The first recorded rector of 1262 was also a Giffard. 
The names Staunton &amp; Mandeille appear between 1338 - 1362  with the marriage of the Giffard daughters , but by 1370 marriage and purchase had brought the ownership to Sir William Cary &amp; thence to his nephew John Cary whose descendants lived here for 11 generations   (Robert is said to have been knighted and regained his father's confiscated lands after defeating the Knight Errant of Aragon at a Royal Tournament in 1413, the Cary arms showing from that time the three roses argent of his opponent)
