The D'eaudon family held the manor in the 13th Cent. A daughter married Sir Roger Clavill giving the name "Clovelly" (the name Clavill being corrupted over time). They died without issue and the manor passed to Sir Baldwyn Malet . It then devolved to the Somertons, whose daughters married into Francis and Kirkham. The name of the village was Bratton Francis until 1547. Many of the joint lords of the manor have been Cornish gentry who did not live in the village. Eversfield Manor was placed on the site of an older farmhouse known as Culmpit. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
