The manor of Braunton Dean, lying around Knowle and to the north and east of the church, may have originally have belonged to the priests of the ancient Minster of St Brannoc, and was held by Algar the Priest in 1086. In the 13th century it was given to the Dean of Exeter and remained intact until it was sold in the late 19th century.
