Dugdale, James. The new British traveller or modern panorama of England and Wales. Vol. 2. London: J. Robins & Co. 1819. p. 188.Tor Abbey, the property of George Cary, Esq. is finely situated, surrounded by large and venerable trees, and commanding a prospect of Tor-bay, and other places in the neighbourhood. The house, which, with the exception of a small part of the old abbey, is mostly modern, consists of a centre and two wings; of which joins a castellated gateway. Beyond this gateway is a large barn, which anciently belonged to the abbey, covered with ivy, but still retaining numerous loop-holes and buttresses. The house has a Roman Catholic Chapel attached to it, which is ornamented with paintings, and has a superb altar.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
