Shute Barton

Shute Barton

Shute Barton, located at Shute, near Axminster, Devon, England, is a mediaeval manor house, today a property of the National Trust.

Shute Barton is one of the most important non-fortified manor houses of the Middle Ages still in existence. It was commenced in approximately 1380 and finally completed in the late 16th century, before being partly demolished in the 18th century. Only two wings of the original 1380 building now remain.

The Great Hall with its beamed ceiling and the Kitchen with its large open fireplace have survived and the house displays battlemented turrets, late Gothic windows and a Tudor gatehouse.

The house was previously owned by the Pole family. Although it is now run by the National Trust, it is inhabited by a tenant.
