<p><font color="#006600" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">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.</font></p>
<p><font size="2"><font color="#006600" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">The
house and gardens,<strong> not normally open to the public</strong>, were designed
by St Aubyn (an established Victorian church architect) and built from Dartmoor
granite. The high gabled roofs and a chapel in the house are some features of
note, and there is some fine stained glass also from this era.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><font color="#006600" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">The
gardens have some very old rhododendrons, believed to have been brought here
by Sir William Parker, who was one of Nelson's Captains at Trafalgar, and later
ADC to Queen Victoria. The gardens have been altered and changed over the years
but are now in the process of restoration including the Millennium Avenue with
52 lime trees and the largest cromlech on Dartmoor.</font></font></p>

<strong><font size="4" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Summer
Exhibition 2003</font></strong><br>
<font size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>We have
joined with the <a href="http://www.users.mwfree.net/%7Edartrust/" target="_blank">Dartmoor
Trust</a> for an early Summer Art & Sculpture Exhibition from 6th May -
1st June at Delamore.</strong></font></p>
<p><strong><font size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">The Exhibition
will be a high profile event with a great deal of publicity centred on the opening
of Delamore, its gardens, the Sculpture and Art. Regional and national media
coverage will advertise the event, and visits are available for art groups,
schools and the public. Sponsored evening events are planned and the opening
ceremony will coincide with the unveiling of the largest Cromlech in the South
West.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">The work
of the Dartmoor Trust is aimed at conserving and protecting the landscape, art
and culture of this vulnerable and beautiful part of the world. Over the years
the Trust has provided funding for many local organisations and individuals
who have come to them for help.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">The Trust
is now pursuing its aim to establish an archive for Dartmoor. This is principally
aimed at ensuring that the thousands of photographs taken on the moor in the
past are preserved and made available to future generations and research. Within
2 years the Dratmoor Trust aims to have at least 20,000 images recorded and
available to the public.</font></strong></p>
