Film : The Cary Archive
Film : The Cary Archive
We are excited to share with you the full film about the "Cary Archive", Emberlense made in collaboration with Devon Archives and Local Studies with support from Torre Abbey and the Lyceum Theatre Torquay .
The Carys, lived at Cockington Court and later Torre Abbey for almost 300 years from 1662. They were significant landowners in Devon, who served as MPs, intermarried with leading West Country families and were active at the royal court.
The film details some of the stories of the Cary's and their time at Torre Abbey. Many of the buildings they owned and we have a look at some of the archive at the Devon Heritage Centre in Exeter.
You can find out more about the Cary Family in
"The Carys: From Rebels to Riches"
Exhibition running until the 14th of July 2024 at Torre Abbey . Created by South West Heritage Trust and Torre Abbey .
