The motto translates as 'Take breath, pull strong'.

Chillington Hall - Front
The front and north wings were added by Thomas Giffard to a design by John Soane in 1786-9 and incorporating the south wing built in 1724. Ceiling heights are much higher in the newer wings following the fashion of the time and appear rather austere to modern taste.
