Summary
| Description |
English: "Bull and Bear" entrance gates and lodge to the estate of Membland (demolished). Membland, in about 1877, and the manor of Revelstoke were purchased by Edward Baring (1828–1897), who in 1885 was elevated to the peerage as "Baron Revelstoke of Membland". He was senior partner of Barings Bank, which had originated in nearby Exeter, Devon. In 1861 he had married Louisa Emily Charlotte Bulteel (died 1892), a daughter of John Crocker Bulteel (1793–1843) of Fleet, Holbeton, the adjoining estate, MP for South Devon 1832–4 and Sheriff of Devon in 1841. In 1889 he built the surviving Bull and Bear gatelodge at Membland, with datestone and his monogram. This was a humourous dual reference both to the couple's surnames and to the stockmarket beasts the bull and bear, varieties of speculators, appropriate to two families of bankers. The canting coat of arms of Baring also depicts a bear's head. |
