Champerknown family

Hi,Does anyone know if any photographs exist of the staff of the Champerknown family of Dartington Hall.
My 2x great uncle worked as a coachman for the family for many years. His name was Jacob Parnell Born Harberton 1837. I know that a lot of these old families did have group pictures taken of their staff.And wondered if any existed.

If you put in Champernowne on the National archives site, it comes up with loads of stuff. Would be worth a trawl through.

Thank you Chris . I had a look, and I think any papers are held at the Devon Heritage centre. So that will be my next bit of research.
