The obituary was read at the Association’s July 1905 Princetown meeting. Ludbrooke Manor House, the Rev. Bartlet’s residence, is an impressive mansion with an embattled tower, situated on an eminence overlooking the surrounding countryside, about one mile from Modbury. The manor of Ludbrooke and Barton had for many generations been in the possession of his ancestors, the Moysey family. Ermington’s parish church of S.S. Peter & Paul has a stained window inserted by the late Rev. Bartlet. The ancient manor house is today a popular venue for wedding receptions.
