In the 19th Century Watcombe Hall was the home of Captain Philpotts, RN, son of the then, Bishop of Exeter. Later the Hall became the home of Sir Bertram MacKennal, an Australian sculptor who came to England in 1880. Some of his work can be found in St. George's Chapel, Windsor; and war memorials in the Houses of Parliament.
