Moor Hays (alias Moore Hays, Moorhays, Moorhayes, etc.[3][4]) is a historic estate in the parish of Cullompton in Devon, England.[5] It is stated incorrectly to be in the nearby parish of Burlescombe in Tristram Risdon's Survey of Devon.[6] The estate is not to be confused with Moor Hayes in the parish of Washfield, about 3 miles north-west of Tiverton, another ancient farmstead, which since 2005 has been the site of a large housing estate named "Moorhayes".
