North Wyke, Grade I listed building in South Tawton, England.
The medieval manor house at North Wyke retains its original form with stone walls, traditional architectural features, and period-specific construction elements.
The Wyke family, who changed their name from de Wray during Richard II's reign, maintained ownership of North Wyke from the 13th century until 1714.
An effigy of John Wykes from 1591 stands in the local church, depicting the nobleman in full armor under a decorated stone canopy.
North Wyke currently operates as part of Rothamsted Research facilities, housing offices and laboratory spaces for agricultural research purposes.
The manor's connection to 'Wicked Richard Weekes' in 1670 involves tales of fraudulent documentation and questionable property dealings.
