Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Farmstead is depicted on the Tithe Map; 799 on the Buckland Monachorum apportionment ('House and court'). The farmstead consists of an L-shaped dwelling on the southern side of the farm, with associated building adjoining to the north, and a further building in the northern corner of the farm yard. This farm is recorded as 'Horrabeer' with the homestead to the north-west.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century map depicts the farms with some additional buildings around the north-western end of the yard and adjoining the old farmhouse on the south-east and possibly western side as well.

Harrowbeer is 'Baraberga' in 1096, 'Harebere' in 1546, 'Herrabere' in 1591, 'Harrabeare' in 1624. The 'b' in the earliest form may have been a clerical error for 'h', in which case the first element may be the Old English 'hara', meaning hare.
Ordnance Survey, 2014, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV355681.
The modern map shows the farmhouse has been adapted into Harrobeer Country House Hotel and the footprint of the building shows there have been some substantial extensions to the original farmhouse.
