  Moorstone, or Lynor, or Moreston, in Halberton parish and Halberton hundred: In 1242 Geoffrey Gamboun or Gambon was in possession of half a fee of the honour of Gloucester. In 1285 Walter de Gambon was lord of the manor. In the reign of Edward IV the Gambon co heiresses married into the families of Sydenham and Woobearne. Moorstone was inherited by Sydenham, whose granddau married into the Wyndham family. Lyson describes it as an estate in the hands of Hon Percy Wyndham in 1822, and the Countess of Egremont was in possession in 1850. The medieval manor house of the Gambon family survies at Moorstone Barton (Pevsner p 467).
