Тапели - это историческое поместье в приходе Уэстли в Северном Девоне , Англия .

Нынешний особняк, известный как Парк Тапели, является указанным в классе II*. Страновой дом , построенный или увеличенный из существующей структуры примерно в 1704 году, реконструированный в 19 -м веке и снова в начале 20 -го века, когда были добавлены пилястры, портик, фронтон и парапет, чтобы создать здание в стиле королевы Анны . В середине 19 -го века поместье было унаследовано от семьи Клевленд Уильямом Лангхамом Кристи из Глиндебурна в Сассексе . Его внуком был Джон Кристи (родился в 1882 году), основатель оперного фестиваля в Глиндебурне , который завещал Тапели своей дочери Розамунду Кристи (1933–1988), которая передала его своему племяннику Гектор Кристи (родилась в 1963 году), который кратко превратил его в Хиппи Коммуна. В 2011 году Tapeley Park стал предметом эпизода Channel 4 телевизионной программы Country House Rescue , представленного гостиницей Рут Уотсон , который посоветовал восстановить имущество на здравом финансовом положении.

Сады находятся в классе II*, перечисленные в Национальном реестре исторических парков и садов . Они открыты для публики на регулярной основе и показывают итальянские террасы, рабочий кухонный сад и сад пермакультуры . Поместье, в настоящее время принадлежащее The Christie Devon Estates Trust (попечителям семьи Кристи), составляет около 6000 акров и охватывает Saunton (включая береговую кость и пляж), Braunton Burrows (песчаные дюны, частично и природный заповедник и сдают в аренду министерству министерства. обороны), Instow (включая береговую ценность, приобретенную у Crown Estate) и деревня Уэстли.

In 1702, having sailed into the North Devon port of Bideford, then one of the leading tobacco importation ports of Great Britain, he is said to have viewed from his ship the ancient mansion of Tapeley, in the parish of Westleigh, situated on an eminence overlooking the estuary of the River Torridge, and to have been so impressed by the beauty of its position that in 1704 he purchased the estate from the Giffard family of Brightley, which thenceforth he made his residence. He was the eldest son of Archibald Cleuland (sic) of Knowhoblehill, Lanarkshire, Scotland. The family claimed descent from the ancient Scottish clan of Cleland (alias Cleuland) of Faskine, Lanarkshire, south-east of Glasgow, with which it shares similar armorials. In 1704 he married Ann Davie (1689–1726), a daughter of the prominent Bideford tobacco merchant John Davie (died 1710), of Orleigh Court, Buckland Brewer and Colonial House (now the Royal Hotel), East-the-Water, Bideford.

Saltren Willett (Clevland)

Augustus Saltren-Willett (1781–1849)

Mural monument to Col. Augustus Saltren-Willett (Clevland) (1781–1849), Westleigh Church

Col. Augustus Saltren-Willett (1781–1849), JP and DL for Devon, who following his inheritance assumed in 1847 by royal licence the surname and arms of Clevland in lieu of Willett. He was the great-nephew of John Clevland (1734–1817), being the son of Augustus Saltren-Willett (1760–1813) (who died at Tapeley in 1813 as his mural monument in Westleigh Church attests), builder of Port Hill House in Northam (by his wife Frances Davie of Orleigh) the son of William Saltren (the second son of Thomas Saltren of Stone in the parish of Parkham) by his wife Hester Clevland, the eldest full-blood sister of John Clevland (1734–1817). A younger branch of the Saltrens, of Treludick, in Cornwall, settled at Petticombe in the parish of Monkleigh, Devon before the middle of the seventeenth century and the mansion at Petticombe was rebuilt by John Saltren in about 1796. A monument to John Saltren (died 1794) of Petticombe survives in Monkleigh Church. The arms of Saltren were: Azure, a lion rampant within an orle of mullets argent. William Saltren was the heir of John Willett (died 1736) of Combe in the parish of Abbotsham, the last male representative of that family, whose mural monument survives in Abbotsham Church. John Willett was responsible for the plasterwork dated 1616 at Coombe House and amongst the ancient benchends in Abbotsham Church is one with initials J.W. and the woolstapler's mark. William Saltren's eldest son Augustus Saltren adopted the additional surname Willett. In 1814 Augustus Saltren-Willett sold Port Hill House to Admiral Sir Richard Goodwin Keats (1757–1834), Governor of Greenwich Hospital 1821–1834. At his death he was Lt. Col. of the North Devon Militia and had fought at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 as an officer in the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons. He married Margaret Caroline Chichester, a daughter of John Palmer Chichester (1769–1823) of Arlington Court, Devon, by his 2nd wife Agnes Hamilton. His daughter Caroline Chichester Clevland, in 1857 married William Wither Bramston Beach (1826–1901), MP, for which event the whole village of Westleigh was decorated and "£20 was distributed amongst the poor whilst tea was served to the ancient women of the village". His two funeral hatchments survive in Westleigh Church, one showing the arms of Clevland alone, the other the arms of Clevland impaling Chichester (Chequy or and gules, a chief vair). Two mural monuments survive in his memory, one in Instow Church, the other in Westleigh Church. The latter is inscribed as follows:

Sacred to the memory of Augustus Clevland of Tapley in this parish, Lieutenant Colonel of the North Devon Militia and Deputy Lieutenant of the county of Devon. Died July 5th 1849 aged 68. He married June 1830 Margaret Caroline, daughter of Colonel Chichester of Arlington Court in this county, by whom he left issue Archibald his heir and two daughters. He was a man of the highest probity and honor, a most affectionate husband, a fond and judicious father, a sincere friend and one whose loss will not easily be replaced in the hearts of those who knew his worth. The early period of his life was passed in India. Subsequently he joined the Inniskilling Dragoons and was present with that regiment at the Battle of Waterloo. He succeeded in 1817 to the estates of his great-uncle John Clevland Esq.re of Tapley and shortly afterwards retired from the service, employing the remainder of his valuable life in the active discharge of all the duties of his position. As a magistrate and chairman of the Board of Guardians of the Barnstaple Union he displayed impartiality that never wavered, integrity above suspicion, placidity of temper and unaffected modesty of demeanour, combined with a sound judgement which won him the esteem and concilliated the good opinion of all classes. To his beloved memory this monument is erected by his widow as a lasting tribute of devoted affection.

Archibald Clevland (1833–1854)

Archibald Clevland (1833–1854), of Tapeley, only son, a cornet in the 17th Lancers, who died aged 21 at the Battle of Inkerman, having just one month before been one of the few officers who survived the Charge of the Light Brigade. He died unmarried and without children, and was therefore the last of the Clevland (and Saltren-Willett) family. Several monuments exist to his memory, including an elaborate sculpted and inscribed marble mural monument and a large stained glass window in Westleigh Church, and two monuments in the grounds of Tapeley Park, namely a 50-foot high obelisk (destroyed by lightning in 1933, with only the base remaining), and a statue erected near the lake by his mother, in the form of a mourning lady, with base inscribed as follows:

Forgive blest shade the tributory tear,

That mourns they exit from a world like this.

Forgive the wish that would have kept thee here,

And stayed thy progress to the realms of Bliss.

Christie

• William Langham Christie (1830–1913), of Glyndebourne in Sussex, elected Conservative MP for Lewes, Sussex in 1874 & 1880, who in 1855 married Agnes Hamilton Clevland, eldest sister and co-heiress (with her sister Caroline Chichester Cleveland) of Archibald Clevland (1833–1854) of Tapeley. He was the grandson of Daniel Beat Christin (died 1809) of Vaud in Switzerland, who Anglicised his surname to Christie on entering the service of the Bombay Engineers, of the East India Company. Daniel rose to major and fought in the war against hyder Ali in Mysore. It is said by Lauder (2002) that he saved the ruler's harem from being robbed of jewels by British soldiers and was rewarded by the harem with a gift of the jewels. The ruler awarded him a further £20,000. Daniel married twice, firstly in 1784 to Charlotte Bellasis (died 1785), a daughter of Rev. George Bellasis, rector of Yattendon, Berkshire, which was without surviving children. Secondly in 1786 Daniel married Elizabeth Langham (died 1833), a daughter and co-heiress of Captain Purbeck Langham, 10th Dragoon Guards, of Glyndebourne and of Saunton (near Tapeley, apparently as a tenant of the Clevland family), youngest son of Sir John Langham, Baronet of Cottesbrooke Park, Northamptonshire. Daniel's eldest son by his 2nd marriage was Langham Christie (1789–1861) of Preston Deanery, Northamptonshire, High Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1852. In 1829 Langham married Elizabeth Gosling (died 1866), daughter of William Gosling of Hassobury Park, Bishops Stortford, Essex. Their eldest son was William Langham Christie, of Glyndebourne, husband of Agnes Hamilton Clevland, heiress of Tapeley. Agnes Clevland and her husband William Langham Christie rebuilt Tapeley Park with a "severe Victorian brick facade".

• Augustus Langham Christie (1857–1930), son and heir, of Glyndebourne and Tapeley, lord of the manor of Instow (near Tapeley), JP and High Sheriff of Devon in 1911. In 1882 he married Lady Rosamond Wallop (died 1935), 3rd daughter of Isaac Newton Wallop, 5th Earl of Portsmouth (1825–1891) of Eggesford House, Wembworthy, Devon. The marriage was not happy, but nevertheless Lady Rosmond had a profound effect on Tapeley, and was responsible for creating the present re-modelled house and the landscaped gardens. She first saw the house in the winter of 1881 before her marriage and in her journal she described the house as it then was as "A Georgian stucco house, very plain and rather dreary in appearance, for many of the front windows had been blocked...the terrace walk and garden did not exist and the drive approached between iron railings". She moved to Tapeley in about 1886, four years after her marriage, and employed the architect John Belcher (1841–1913) to remodel the house in Queen Anne style, which work was carried out over time as finances allowed, before during and after World War I. She affixed a plaque to a wall of the house in his memory. She had effectively separated from her husband, who had become "eccentric", and who moved to the nearby family mansion of Saunton Court, later remodelled in the 1930s by Edwin Lutyens. As an act of revenge against his wife he attempted to bequeath his estates to a distant cousin in Canada, thus cutting out their son John. She overturned his will in the courts on the grounds that he had been of unsound mind at the time of its making.
• John Christie (born 1882), born at Eggesford. He was assistant head master of Eton College and fought in World War I winning the Military Cross. He married the opera singer Grace Audrey Louisa St John-Mildmay, daughter of Rev. Aubrey Neville St John-Mildmay, and opened an opera house at Glyndebourne, thus founding the Glyndebourne Opera Festival. During World War II Tapeley was used as a home for children evacuated from Plymouth. It later served as a home for the Invalid Children's Aid Association, then as a hotel. John's eldest son and heir to Glyndebourne was Sir George Christie (born 1934) but he bequeathed Tapeley to his daughter Rosamund Christie.
• Rosamund Christie (1933–1988), daughter of John Christie.
• Hector Christie (born 1961), was bequeathed Tapeley by his aunt Rosamund. He is the eldest son of Sir George Christie (1934 – May 2014) of Glyndebourne. Shortly after his father's death in 2014 he and the estate's long-serving agent Raymond Coldwell parted company and he remarked:

Raymond has given me the freedom to do what I wanted to do. I've not made it very easy for him, looking after the estate which was what I should have been doing. But the one thing that's constant in life is change. Now I'm going to be turning my attention to the estate, making it more open and accessible. We've got a lot of work to do on the property and we're going to have to borrow a lot of money. I'm going to play a more active role.
