Manor of Poltimore
The Manor of Poltimore is a former manor in Devon, England. The manor house known as Poltimore House survives in its 18th-century remodelled form, but has been dilapidated for several decades. A charity named the "Poltimore House Trust" has been established for the purpose of its restoration. The manor was situated within the historic Wonford Hundred and was largely coterminous with the parish of Poltimore and contained the village of Poltimore, 4 miles (6.4 km) north-east of the historic centre of the City of Exeter. It should not be confused with the eponymous Devon estate of Poltimore in the parish of Farway, 16 miles (26 km) east of Exeter. Poltimore was the principal seat of the Bampfylde family from c. 1300 to 1920.

Walter Bampfield
Walter Bampfield (1446–1478) (eldest son and heir), who married twice:

• Firstly to Constance Langsford, daughter of Edward Langsford; without children.
• Secondly to Grace Pudsey, daughter of Sir Ralph Pudsey. She survived her husband and remarried to Sir Roger Tetcote. By his second wife he had a son Andrew Bampfield (see below).

Andrew Bampfield (born 1474)
Andrew Bampfield (born 1474) (son), who died childless, apparently as an infant, when the heir to the Bampfield estates was his uncle William Bampfield.

St Peter and St Paul's Church, Bolton-by-Bowland
St Peter and St Paul's Church is in Gisburn Road, Bolton-by-Bowland, Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Whalley, the archdeaconry of Blackburn, and the Diocese of Blackburn.[1][2] Its benefice is united with that of St Ambrose, Grindleton.[3] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[4]
History
A church has been on the site since at least 1190, and the present church contains some 13th-century fabric. Almost all the church dates from the middle of the 15th century, when it was built by Sir Ralph Pudsay, the Lord of the Manor of Bolton, and completed in about 1466.[5] The Pudsay Chapel was added in the early 16th century.[4] In 1885–86 the church was restored by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin who added a new roof and parapets.[6] The tower was restored in 1994.[7]
etc.
Interior
Inside the church the five-bay arcades are carried on octagonal piers. In the south wall of the chancel is a piscina, and in the north wall is a recess, probably for a tomb. The octagonal sandstone font dates from the early 16th century. Its bowl is carved with the coats of arms of local families, and has brass plaques inscribed with texts in Latin.[4] The font cover was carved by Robert (Mouseman) Thompson.[7] The pulpit contains panels described as "Flemish baroque".[4] In the arch between the chancel and chapel is the monument to Sir Ralph Pudsay who died in 1468. It is in limestone, and is carved with the figures of Sir Ralph, his three wives, and his 25 children, with their names. The monument stands on a sandstone base.[4] Among the children depicted is Sir Ralph's son, William, who became rector of the church.[7] etc.

'Bampfylde1'
Families covered: Bampfield of Hardington, Bampfield (Bamfield or Bampfylde) of Poltimore
(1) Westcote spells the family name as "Bampfield" whilst Vivian uses 'Bamfield" or "Bamfeild" then "Bampfield" with "Bampfylde" being used for the first time with the 1st Lord. Wotton mostly uses "Baumfilde" then "Bampfylde". We use Bampfylde for the page title as that is what is used in BP1934 (Poltimore).
(2) BP1934 reports that the manor of Poltimore has been possessed by this family since the reign of Edward I (who r. 1272-1307) but, other than mentioning John (m. Eleanor Beauchamp), starts its pedigree with the Amias shown at the top of Bampfylde2.
(3) There has been some confusion with & between the early generations of this family. We show what is reported by Vivian but report also what is shown by the other Main Sources.
etc.
(a) Sir William Bampfield of Poltimore, Sheriff of Devon (d by 1475)
This generation is shown by Vivian & Wotton but not by Westcote. Wotton shows his son Walter as father rather than elder brother of the William who m1. Margaret St. Maur m2. Margaret Kirkham. We are following Vivian.
