Brief history of site

In 1550 Ugbrooke was sold to Sir Piers Courtenay of Powderham Castle, Devon. The house was rebuilt in the late-17th century. In the late-17th and early-18th century improvements were made to the park, in particular planting several formal avenues. A new house was designed by Robert Adam and constructed between 1760 and 1769. Lancelot Brown was consulted regarding the park around 1770.
