"HUNTSPILL VERNEY MANOR

Land in Huntspill ... came to be known by the early 18th century as Huntspill Verney manor. By that date it was held by the Palmer family through the marriage of Elizabeth Verney (d. 1592) with William Palmer. Elizabeth was followed in succession by her son Thomas (d. 1605), her grandsons William (d. 1652) and Peregrine (d. 1684) Palmer, and by Peregrine's son Nathaniel (d. 1718). The estate continued to descend like Fairfield in Stogursey until 1952 when it was sold by Alexander Peregrine Fuller-Acland-Hood, Baron St. Audries." - British History Online
