Pool had manorial status from at least the 14th century. Guy de Bryan IV was residing in Pole at Slapton in 1253. In 1370 Guy de Bryan VII founded Slapton Chantry which was dissolved in 1547. The Chantry lands, including Pool, passed to the Ameredith family in the 16th century and to Richard Hawkins in the 17th century. Polwhele, writing in 1792, described Pool as "noble buildings of a vast extent, now crumbling to dust" and Lysons in 1822 stated that "the ruins of the old mansion of Pole or Poole were taken down about the year 1800". The older buildings are constructed of coursed slate rubble and the floors and yards of the agricultural buildings were commonly cobbled.
