The mansion of Heanton Satchville in the parish of Petrockstowe, Devon, has today been obliterated almost without a trace, but was at one time "one of the most imposing houses ever to exist in Devon" The research of the Devon historian Rosemary Lauder brought this house "almost completely erased from memory" which has "for long years remained unknown" back into prominence in the 2005 second edition of her book "Vanished Houses of North Devon". The Hearth Tax return of 1674 recorded 26 hearths for the house, making it the second largest house in Devon after Werrington Park (now in Cornwall) north of Launceston. The house is not to be confused with the 18th.c. house named after it in the nearby parish of Huish, the seat of Lord Clinton.
