The first reference to Cadhay is in the reign
of Edward 1 as a sub manor to the Manor of Ottery St Mary. The main part of the present house
was built circa 1550 by John Haydon. He retained
the Great Hall of the earlier house, of which the fine timber roof dating between 1420 _ 1470
can still be seen in the Roof Chamber. An Elizabethan long gallery was added early in the
17th century, thus forming a unique and lovely courtyard with
statues of sovereigns on each wall. The house, surrounded
by magnificent gardens with herbaceous borders and
yew hedges, looks out over the original mediaeval fish
ponds which may well have been used by the Warden and Canons of
the Collegiate Church of St Mary of Ottery.
The House & Gardens are open to the public each Friday
in May, June, July, August and September between 2pm
and 5.30pm. Also May spring and late summer Bank Holiday Sunday
and Monday. Tea room available.
