The Manor of Dotton originated prior to the Domesday Book of 1086 and developed into an 'extra parochial parish'. It was recognised as a Civil Parish in 1868. It is indicated that some sort of community existed prior to 1066AD, when the lands were held by Doda the priest. Rainer held Dotton in 1086AD, from Baldwin of Moeles, also called Baldwin of xeter, Sheriff of Devon. The manor was later held by the heir of Baldwin of Billestone. Following the death of Mark Rolle, the Estates were taken over by Lord Clinton c.1907.
