17th century wall plaque Trio and Bond
Heritage Open Day: View 17th century plaque linked to Grenville family 1000-1300 Trio and Bond Hair Studio EX39 2HW – once part of the Three Tuns pub. The overmantel on the chimney breast, discovered during renovations, has at its centre a man in late Stuart costume, and the Grenville coat of arms with its three clarions. This was earlier believed to have been Sir Richard Grenville’s grandson, Bevil Grenville, who owned property on Bideford Quay and died fighting for the royalists in the Civil War. However, it is now believed that it was originally made to sit above a fireplace in the Grenville’s house at Stowe, near Kilkhampton, built by Bevil’s son, John, in the late 1670s.
