Full description

South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.

'Stone' is depicted on Tithe Map; plot A399. Large narrow farm building aligned east-west to the south of the farm; another roughly square building is shown at the north end of the farm. The dwelling lies directly to the south of the latter and is an irregular shape.

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

The late 19th century historic map shows the northern building has been removed. A new addition to the farm has been added on the eastern side of the farm, but otherwise the layout appears much the same as the Tithe Map.
