What is "dunsland"

Dunsland is a historic manor and former house in the parish of Bradford & Cookbury near Holsworthy in Devon, England. It was successively a home of the Arscott, Bickford, Coham and Dickinson families and in fact although the ownership records are incomplete, it is very likely that the estate passed in an unbroken line from the time of the Norman Conquest until 1947. The house was destroyed by fire in 1967, just after extensive restoration by the National Trust.
