The Grade I Listed Tudor Manor House of Holcombe Rogus was built by Sir Roger Bluett c1560. The manor of Holcombe Rogus had been acquired by the Bluett family in the early 15th century following the marriage of Sir John Bluett, Lord of the Manor of neighbouring Greenham Barton and Cothay Manor, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Holcombe Rogus, to Maude Chiseldon, daughter and co-heiress of John Chiseldon. The other co-heiress was Margaret Chiseldon who married Sir William Wadham. It is a private house so this was taken through the imposing gates - such a splendid looking manor house and I was able to buy a book on Holcombe Court at the local garage with a forward by the present owner Nigel Wiggins.
