Hi
Are you by any chance researching "Arthur Champneys"
he bought Ra(w)leigh Manor in  1689.

This appears to be the Raleigh house referred to as rebuilt on that wiki "Manor of" page. so the Gothic cross labelled "Mansion Site of" of should be the previous location, now in/or under part of the hospital complex.

Hi

I'm not researching the Champneys - unfortunately my George Bayley is far more elusive being a mere merchant and a suspected recusant. The Rawleigh Manor link is very interesting, especially seeing where it used to be in relation to modern day Barnstaple.

Thank you so much for all your help, I really appreciate it
