Disagree. Not a good idea, these are historic estates which today often consist of relatively modest farmhouses, sometimes just piles of rubble (i.e.Stevenstone), having grander pasts as what Hoskins called "mansions" of the Devon gentry. They are often not even manor houses, but were situated within the manor of someone else. They are thus generally not synonymous with Country House, which implies quite a grand house used as a residence by a person with a London townhouse too.(Lobsterthermidor (talk) 22:34, 2 August 2014 (UTC))Reply
While I'm not overly familiar with the terms, Lobster raises a pretty good point and I agree. I expect there could certainly be some overlap, but they appear to be differently used. Considering that Dr Blofield never gave a reason for it, I will remove the tag and mark this as closed. JollyΩJanner06:41, 3 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
