    Shute  History details

Shute is about 7 miles from Gittisham  & Farway is in the lowland some three miles away on the other side of Gittisham Hill  

Old Shute House, near Colyton originally built in around 1380 – this painting was made prior to partial demolition of 1785. It is one of the most important non-fortified manor houses of the Middle Ages still in existence. It was built about 1380 as a hall house and was greatly expanded in the late 16th century and partly demolished in 1785. The original 14th-century house survives, although much altered. The buildings to the east (left) of the tall slender octagonal tower adjacent to the porch were demolished in 1785 by Sir John de la Pole, 6th Baronet (1757–1799)
The driveway from the gatehouse was built over their former location southwards 1/2 mile to New Shute House built by him 1787–89. St Michael's Church, Shute parish, is visible to the east 

Records of Shute and Whitford manors are held at DRO - 

SHUTE, in the hundred of Colyton and in the deanery of Honiton, lies about three miles from Axminster, and about six from Honiton. The village of Whitford is in this parish.
Leland calls Shute a right good manor-place of the Marquis of Dorset's: it had been before the seat of the Bonvilles
