A short walk from Froggy Mill to Medland manor to supplement the Cheriton Bishop walk.
Medland Manor; the original 13th century building was burnt down ;it belonged to Henry de Stanewe.The manor of Medland was held, in 1274, by Henry de Stanewe, under the abbey of Tewkesbury. (fn. 19) After the Reformation, it was for several generations the property and seat of a younger branch of the family of Davie, who spelt their names Davy. Andrew Davy, Esq., the last of this branch, who died in 1722, bequeathed Medland to the family of Foulkes. The house was rebuilt, and the place much improved, by the late John Davy Foulkes, Esq., since whose death the estate has been sold in parcels. The manor-house, and a considerable part of the land, were purchased by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Lambert Gorwin. Coxland, formerly the seat of a younger branch of Delves (fn. 20) of Cheshire, is now the property of John Newcombe, Esq.
