A friend who has lived in the vicinity of Dulverton all of his life tells me that there is no building he knows of called Dulverton Manor. We are assuming that they are using the expression as in Lord of the Manor as a piece of land, an area. The 'seat' would likely have been Pixton owned by the Carnarvons (relatives of the Carnarvon involved in Tutankhamon). The area around was developed, a railway brought in and a hotel built at Brushford to deliver their friends from London for shooting and hunting etc. The railway has gone now and the hotel converted into flats (Carnarvon Arms). New Invention seems to have been two houses at one time probably knocked into one. It cannot be seen from the road but the suggestion is to walk up from Marsh Bridge to get a look at it. We cannot offer a suggestion as to where the name came from but we have found a relative of someone who lived there once and will get back to you with anything we find.
