Indio, Bovey Tracey
Human settlement in England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indio (anciently Indehoe, Indiho, etc.[1]) in the parish of Bovey Tracey in Devon, is an historic estate. The present large mansion house, known as Indio House is a grade II listed[2] building rebuilt in 1850, situated about 1/2 mile south of Bovey Tracey Church, on the opposite side of the River Bovey. According to the Devon historian Pole (d.1635) it was originally a priory,[3] however research from 1840[4] onwards has suggested it was more likely merely a grange farm, a possession of St John’s Hospital, Bridgwater, Somerset, from 1216.[5]
