Heritage Open Day: Visit Eggesford Barton, 1 of 3 sites from Eggesford's historic Earls of Portsmouth estate (with Eggesford Garden & All Saints Church), all by the river Taw, with cakes/ refreshments & a new local history exhibition in the church. This year Eggesford Barton's quadrangle farmstead joins the original walled kitchen gardens of Eggesford House (the former garden centre), being beautifully restored before reopening, and All Saints Church to represent the heritage of the vast aristocratic estate (at its peak over 16,000 acres) held by families of regional and national importance, such as the Reigneys, Chichesters and Fellowes, and later the Earls of Portsmouth.
Guided tours of the Barton will take place at 12 noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm.
