de Scobbahull From the reign of King Henry III (1216–1272) until that of King Henry V (1413–1422) the estate was the seat of the de Scobbahull (
alias Scobhill, Scobhul, Scobbhull, etc.,) family, which had taken its surname from its seat. The last in the male line was Sir Robert Scobbahull, also
lord of the manor of
Coffinswell, who by his wife Elinor (if unrecorded family) left three daughters and heiresses: • Joane Scobbahull, heiress of Coffinswell, wife of William Holbeame of Holbeame in the parish of West Ogwell, son of John Holbeame (born 1351). Their son and heir was John Holbeame (born 1407–1429). The arms of Holbeame impaling Scobbahull survive sculpted in stone on a pier in the Church of
East Ogwell. • Isabell Scobbahull, heiress of the estate of Scobbahull, wife firstly of Thomas Chedder, secondly of Nicholas Speccot, of
Speccot in the parish of Merton, to whose son John Speccot (d.1460) the estate of Scobbahull descended. • Elizabeth Scobbahull, wife firstly of William Trebell and secondly of Robert Kirkham (d.1443) of
Blagdon, Paignton in Devon, by whom she had issue. The arms of Kirkham quartering Scobbahull survive in the Kirkham Chantry of St John's Church, Paignton.
Speccot The estate of Scobbahull descended to the Speccot family of
Speccot in the parish of Merton, on the marriage of Isabell Scobbahull, a daughter and co-heiress of Robert Scobbahull. ==References==
