Within the parish of Cullompton are situated various historic estates including:
* The church of Cullompton and its land was given to [[Battle Abbey]] by [[William the Conqueror]]. The manor contained five sub-manors called Upton, Weaver, Ash, Colebrook and Henland (now in the parish of Kentisbeare). This manor later passed to St Nicholas Priory in Exeter.<ref>{{cite book|title = Doomsday Book, Devon (part 2)| chapter = General notes, section 9-1| editor-last =Thorn |editor-first = Frank | editor2-last =Thorn | editor2-first = Caroline| publisher = Phillimore | year = 1985 | place = Chichester }}</ref> 
* Cullompton. At the time of the [[Domesday Book]] in 1086, this manor was part of the royal [[Manorialism|manor]] of [[Silverton, Devon|Silverton]] and so not recorded separately. Before the conquest it was held by King Edward. In 1291 this manor was given to [[Buckland Abbey]] by Isabella Countess of Devon.<ref name="note_1-7">{{cite book|title = Doomsday Book, Devon (part 2)| chapter = General notes, section 1-7| editor-last =Thorn |editor-first = Frank | editor2-last =Thorn | editor2-first = Caroline| publisher = Phillimore | year = 1985 | place = Chichester }}</ref>
