Stirling, D. M. The beauties of the shore. Exeter: W. Roberts, 1838. p. 135.Sir John Rolle, who changed his surname to Walter, demolished the ancient manor house of Bicton, with the design of building a magnificent mansion in its stead, but his death happening, when only one wing of the fabric was finished, Denys Rolle, esq., the next heir, completed the intentions of his brother; but since that period, it has, at various times, been extensively enlarged and beautified, so that it is now a splendid mansion, seated nearly in the centre of one of the finest parks in England.
