Knightshayes Court is situated just outside Tiverton in Devon and was built by the grandson of the founder of a lace making business in the town in 1816. The grandeur of the house would apparently have been much greater if they had not lost patience with Burges, the builder, and replaced him by J D Crace who redecorated throughout, but in a less elaborate style.
