Rashleigh Barton is a small manor house which presided over the historic manor of Rashleigh in the parish of Wembworthy, in Devon. The house is a Grade II* listed building, situated 5 miles north-east of the village of Wembworthy itself.[1] It was the earliest known seat of the ancient Rashleigh family, a junior branch of which is still seated at Menabilly in Cornwall, but in the 16th century, on the failure of the male line, the estate passed from the senior line of the Rashleigh family via a sole heiress to the Clotworthy family of Clotworthy in the same parish of Wembworthy.[2]
