  • townhouse of George Rolle (d.1552), where he died, comprising "messuage, garden and curtilage". It was held from the crown in burgage, worth 30 shillings. Details of Buckfast Place from his inquisition post mortem quoted in Byrne, Muriel St. Clare, (ed.) The Lisle Letters, 6 vols, University of Chicago Press, Chicago & London, 1981, vol.1, Appendix 25, p. 414. This house, later known as the "Abbot's Lodge", was destroyed in 1942 during World War II bombing. It had been the townhouse of the Abbot of Buckfast Abbey, which Abbey and much of its lands, apparently excluding the Abbot's Lodge, had been acquired following the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Sir Thomas Denys (c.1477-1561) of Holcombe Burnell, whose eventual heir (by coincidence) was the Rolle family. It was at the Abbot's Lodge that the Grand Duke of Tuscany was entertained by Sir John Rolle in 1669 and it remained in the Rolle family until 1737 when it was sold to the Rev. John Heskett.(Source:[9]) A photograph of the arms of Sir Henry Rolle (1545–1625) in this building taken shortly before its destruction survives in: Devon Notes & Queries, Vol.9, 1916–17, pp. 97-9: "Armorial Bearings at the Abbot's Lodge", The Close, Exeter.
