Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848, 18-19 of 30 on pdf (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Forder is depicted on the Tithe Map; 779 on the Throwleigh apportionment 'garden, houses and waste'. The farmstead comprises a number of joined buildings either side of the yard, running roughly south-east to north-west.
A group of five narrow buildings are depicted to the south-west of the farm; marked as 'Cottage and garden' (781) on the apportionment.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century historic map shows a similar depiction to the Tithe Map, although the buildings are rather different shapes to the Tithe depiction, so may be replacements (although the quality of the Tithe Map looks a little suspect in places). Some further buildings added along the south-eastern side and to the north-west of the farm. The buildings shown to the south-west on the Tithe Map are no longer there.
Ordnance Survey, 1904 - 1906, Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch Map (Cartographic). SDV325644.
As the late 19th century historic map, expect for the late 19th century building added at the north-west, which is now gone.

'Forder' was probably the home of 'William atte Forde', mentioned in the 1296 Assize Rolls.
