Torwood Manor was built in 1579 for Thomas Ridgeway. When Robert Palk acquired the property in 1768 he planned to enlarge it, but decided instead to purchase Haldon House, near Haldon Hill. The manor was demolished in the 1840s and this painting must have been copied from an earlier sketch.

Tucker was an Exeter artist who painted local views. His work is helpful as a topographical record of Devon’s landscape as it appeared 200 years ago.
