Columbjohn Chapel and the Gatehouse Arch on the Killerton Estate

Heritage Open Day: Columbjohn Chapel and Gatehouse Arch: intriguing remains of an ornate C17th arch, isolated Chapel and the site of a lost Tudor mansion. Exeter University's excavation of the site features in Digging for Britain, available on BBC iplayer. Columbjohn Chapel was erected by Sir John Acland in 1608. It was built in the grounds of the original manor house at Columbjohn, purchased by Sir John in 1580. The manor house became the main residence of the Acland family in 1622 and was a significant location during the English civil war, 1642-1646. John Acland (grand-nephew of the above) was awarded a baronetcy during the war for his support of the King.
