context_page_description: The Manor of Bratton Fleming was a medieval manor estate in Bratton Fleming, Devon, England.
context_section_description: The present house known as "Chumhill", situated 1 1/4 miles south-west of Bratton Fleming Church, was built circa 1920 on the site of the former manor house, of which no visible remains survive. In 1937 the lord of the manor of Bratton Fleming was Basil Thomas Fanshawe (born 1857) of Fanshawe Gate in Derbyshire and of Smallcombe in the parish of Exford in Somerset. He served as a captain in the North Devon Imperial Yeomanry and as a magistrate for Ceylon. In 1890 he married Mary Georgina Clerke, only daughter of Sir William Henry Clerke, 10th Baronet (1822–1882) of Hitcham, Buckinghamshire. He was the second son of John Gaspard Fanshawe (1824-1903) of Parsloes in Essex, which estate had been purchased in 1619 by his ancestor William Fanshawe of Great Singleton in Lancashire and of Norton Dawnley in Devon,  Auditor of the Duchy of Lancaster, by his wife Barbara Coventry a grand-daughter of George Coventry, 7th Earl of Coventry (1758–1831). In 1923 Basil Fanshawe redeemed the mortgage on his ancestral estate of Fanshawe Gate, held by the senior line of his family since the 15th century, which in 1832 had been mortgaged for 500 years by its then owner Rev. C.R. Fanshawe, of whom his ancestors were distant cousins.
