Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848, 24/43 in pdf (Cartographic). SDV349431.
'Blachall' is depicted on the Tithe Map, 1011 on the South Tawton apportionment ('dwelling house and outbuildings'). The large farmhouse is depicted, surrounded on the west, north and east by a collection of farm buildings. One isolated building lies just to the north-west of the main farm. The most easterly building has a horse-engine house attached on the north-eastern side.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century historic map shows the farm to be largely the same as the Tithe Map depiction, with one additional building at the western end of the main group.
Ordnance Survey, 1904 - 1906, Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch Map (Cartographic). SDV325644.
The early 29th century shows a range of buildings is now in place to the north of the farmhouse; this may have amalgamated the pre-exiting buildings or be a replacement. There are also new buildings at the north-eastern end of this range.
