Ugbrooke House is a stately home in the parish of Chudleigh, Devon, England, situated in a valley between Exeter and Newton Abbot.
It dates back over 900 years, having featured in the Domesday Book. Before the Reformation the land belonged to the Church and the house was occupied by Precentors to the Bishop of Exeter. It has been the seat of the Clifford family for over four hundred years, and the owners have held the title Baron Clifford of Chudleigh since 1672. The house, now a Grade I listed building, was remodelled by Robert Adam, while the grounds were redesigned by Capability Brown in 1761.The grounds featured what were possibly the earliest plantings of the European White Elm Ulmus laevis in the UK. The gardens are now Grade II* listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.The house and gardens are open to the public for a limited number of days each summer.
Thomas Hugh Clifford, 14th Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, DL (born 17 March 1948) is a British hereditary peer and former British Army officer.
He is the first son of the late Colonel The Right Hon. Lewis Hugh Clifford, 13th Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, and The Honourable Katharine Vavasseur Fisher. Through his mother he is a great-grandson of Admiral of the Fleet The 1st Baron Fisher.
He was educated at Downside School.[1] He was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of Devon in 1998.
