The present Delamore, the fourth house to be built on the Estate, was commissioned by Admiral Parker and built in 1859. Delamore has remained in the same family since 1688 when it was purchased from the Balmains by Sir George Treby of Plympton. It is still a traditional agricultural Dartmoor estate.
