Bowden, Yealmpton

Not to be confused with the historic Bowden estate in Ashprington parish, nor the hamlet Bowden in the parish of Stoke Fleming, both in Devon, England.

Bowden is a historic estate in the parish of Yealmpton in Devon, England. From the 15th century until 1748 the manor house was for eight generations[1] the seat of a junior branch of the Copleston family of Copplestone. The manor house was largely rebuilt in the 19th century and, together with some of its outbuildings, now serves as a farmhouse.[2]
