INCLEDON OF BUCKLAND IN BRAUNTON

The manor of Buckland in Braunton North devon with an estate called Incledon, belonged to the Incledon family from an early period till the year 1759.


Richard Incledon, Gent., 1558; John Incledon, 1570; Lewis Incledon, 1614; John Incledon, Esq., 1661; Lewis Incledon, Esq., 1698; Henry Incledon, Esq.,  1736; John Incledon, Esq., 1746.

The earliest Incledon records are from the 12th century. They probably lived at the adjoining farm. Buckland was purchased

in 1319 and Incledons have lived there ever since. Only once in seven centuries was the head of the house a Webber, when the elder daughter married Philip Rogers Webber of Loxhore near Barnstaple in the mid 18th century. Webber came from a pewterer family, and both his father and grandfather were Mayors of Barnstaple. Their portraits hang in the Guildhall at Barnstaple.

Meanwhile the Incledons had been supplying several Recorders of Barnstaple over a period of 79 years. In about 1746 Robert Incledon built Pilton House, Barnstaple,seen here on the hill above Barnstaple . 

His son Benjamin, Recorder in 1758, was living there in 1770.



The 1830 Recorder, Robert Newton Incledon, also lived there. Two stone falcons of the Incledon crest stood at its entrance gate, but were later transferred to Buckland.

Philip Rogers Webber reconstructed the front of Buckland in the Queen Anne style, completing it in 1762. They had 16 children, and rebuilt the east wing to accommodate them. His son Henry Webber was Caroline's Great-great-great-Grandfather.

Buckland had 650 acres of farm land and ancient farm buildings including one dating from 1660. The 1841 census lists 35 people living on the estate. While other places in Devon called Buckland are probably named after the male deer, it is believed that this Buckland was Boke-land, indicating that the estate is listed in the Domesday Book.

The manor of Buckland in this parish, with an estate called Incledon, belonged to the Incledon family from an early period till the year 1759. One of the co-heiresses of the late John Incledon, Esq. brought it to the late Philip Rogers Webber, Esq.

whose son, Henry Webber, Esq., a general in the East India Company's service, is the present proprietor. Buckland house is the seat of General Webber. There was also a manor of Buckland Chailow in this parish, the inheritance of the Giffard family, who held it under the duchy of Cornwall in the

reign of James I.
