Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

Depicted on the Tithe Map as two farmsteads; Lower Yelland in the north (95 on the South Brent apportionment: 'Dwelling house, other buildings, front garden, yards'), and Higher Yelland on the southern side of the track (273: 'Dwelling house, other buildings'). Higher Yelland only consists of a small farmhouse in the centre of the farm, with two associated buildings to the south-west and south-east of the house. The owners of the two farms are different, but the occupier is listed as the same person; Philemon Brooking.

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

The late 19th century historic map shows the farmhouse to the south (part of Higher Yelland) has been demolished; farms appears to have been combined into one farm; Yalland. Buildings to the south-west of the remaining farmhouse have been extended, as have the buildings to the south-east (originally associated with Higher Yelland). Building shown located in the trackway on the Tithe Map is gone.

Same as the late 19th century historic map.

Gover, J. E. B. + Mawer, A. + Stenton, F. M., 1931, The Place-Names of Devon: Part One, 292 (Monograph). SDV1312.

Yalland is ‘la Yoldelande’ in 1291, and ‘Yollelonde’ in 1330 Subsidy Rolls.

White, P., 2013, Previously Unsurveyed Dartmoor Historic Farmsteads (Un-published). SDV352501.

Yalland is included on list. No further information provided.

Ordnance Survey, 2015, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV357601.

Modern map shows the layout of the farm is much the same as on the historic maps, except for an additional building added to the south-east of the farm; overlying the old Higher Yelland farmhouse site.
