Moors Head Manor house

Moors Head Manor house

This Pre 1573 manor house, formerly known as Moreshead, was located in the farming land just off the south eastern edge of Dartmoor. The manor was inherited by Robert Furse in 1573. Excerpt from Worth's Dartmoor: Furse wrote to his heirs that he " made the porch and entereye and seled the hall and glaste all the wyndoes" This image, taken in July 1945, shows the house falling into disrepair. The present day OS map describes the site as 'ruins'.
