Longstone Manor remains in Burrator Reservoir

A trimmed reconstruction of Longstone Manor House remains in Burrator Resevoir on the edge of Dartmoore National Park. The model was created using 700 photos (sampled from video). The larger area and assosiated Troughs, Stones, Walls and Gateposts have been removed fromt he 3D model to keep it tidy. No shadow delighting has been processed on this model. It has been suggested that the site of Longstone Manor house was owned from at least the C13 by Herbert de Cumba, Lord of the Manor of Sheepstor. By the C15 the Scudamore family owned the lands at Longstone, before they passed to the Elfords when John Alford married Johanna Scudmore. Much of the present building was re-built for Walter and Barbara Elford in 1633, according to a date stone removed from the ruins, possibly including in elements of the earlier house.
