Scoble, South Pool

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,^[6] which had taken its surname from its seat. The last in the male line was Sir^[7] Robert Scobbahull, also lord of the manor of Coffinswell,^[8] who by his wife Elinor (if unrecorded family) left three daughters and heiresses:

• • Joane Scobbahull, heiress of Coffinswell, wife of William^[9] 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).^[10] The arms of Holbeame impaling Scobbahull survive sculpted in stone on a pier in the Church of East Ogwell.^[11]
  • 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)^[12] the estate of Scobbahull descended.^[13]
  • Elizabeth Scobbahull, wife firstly of William Trebell and secondly of Robert Kirkham (d.1443)^[14] 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.^[15]

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.^[16]
