Polwhele, Revd. Richard. The history of Devonshire. London: Cadell, Dilly & Murray, 1793-1806. Vol. I. pp. 359.In Prince's time, Bickleigh-Court "was an ancient pile; built with turrets, and moated round with water: which, whether it may conduce most to the health of the inhabitants, it becomes the most, that must live there, to enquire" - observes the author of the Worthies. Bickleigh Court is now a romantic ruin. [Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
