| Fulford Manor |
Great Fulford has been the home of the Fulford family since the reign of Richard 1 granted to William de Fulford.The manor originally belonged to the Priory of Canonsleigh until the Reformation when it was purchased by Sir John Fulford. Sir John Fulford was High Sherrif of Devon for the 26th and 32nd years of the reign of King Henry VIII. Sir John was the son and heir of Sir William Fulford and his wife Jane Bonville. Sir John was a descendant of King Edward I through his grandmother Philippa, who was wife of Sir Thomas Fulford and daughter of Sir Philip Courtenay of Powderham Castle in Devon. During the Civil wars of the mid 17th century the family were Royalist. Initially the house was held for the king by Colonel Sir Francis Fulford’s second son, Major Francis Fulford, but it was stormed by Parliamentarians in 1642, retaken by the royalists later when they besieged Exeter taken again by the roundheads in 1646 and garrisoned by them till the end of the war. |

| Bodmin Jail |
The original jail was built for King George III he original jail was built for King George III in 1779. The Jail you see today was built by the prisoners who brought the 20,000 tons of granite from Bodmin’s Cuckoo Quarry. During the First World War the Jail held state papers and the Doomsday book The Crown Jewels have also been given safe haven here as well. Visit the cold dank cells, look up at the thin light filtering through a small barred window and imagine being sentenced to even a week in such desolation, a very lonely life with the knowledge each day would bring more of the same cold, hunger and hard labour, on the treadmill as a civil prisoner, or cannon ball catch for naval prisoners; designed to keep you fit for battle on your release. |
