The
present Delamore, the fourth house to be built on the Estate,
was commissioned by Admiral Parker and built in 1859. Delamore
has remained in the same family since 1688 when it was purchased
from the malmains by Sir George Treby of Plympton. It is still
a traditional agricultural Dartmoor estate.
Two
of the principal rooms in the house are used as galleries for
hanging paintings. Immense windows provide excellent natural
light and visitors have an opportunity to view the paintings
at leisure within the atmosphere of this impressive country house.
