Cadhay

Cadhay is a unique and lovely Manor House, standing in a pleasant listed garden, with herbaceous borders and yew hedges and looks out over the original mediaeval fish ponds, which may have been used by the brothers and Canons of lovely Collegiate Church of St Mary of Ottery. Cadhay is mentioned in the reign of Edward I. The main part of the present house was built in 1545 by a John Haydon, probably using a lot of stone, timber and glass from Ottery and Dunkesnell Abbey after the dissolution by Henry VIII in 1545. He retained the great hall of the earlier house and the fine timber roof (1420 - 1470) can still be seen. An Elizabethan Long Gallery was added in 1617 by Robert Haydon, thus forming the unique and lovely courtyard.
