The Haydons were an old Devon family, descended from John Haydon de Boughwood in Harpford, who was living there in 1325. Risdon in his Survey of 1620, recorded that a descendant, John Haydon "builded at Cadhay a fair new house and enlarged his demesne." The fine new Tudor mansion built by John Haydon was apparently erected on the site of the former medieval hall. John Haydon built it about 1550. The south porch door of St Mary's Church at Ottery retains its ancient lock, the handle being dated 1575 with the initials of the donor, John Haydon of Cadhay.
