Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Farmhouse depicted on the Tithe Map; 1407 on the South Brent apportionment. 'Dwelling house, other buildings, yard and c.' Possible longhouse depicted behind (north-west) the farmhouse. Buildings are mostly clustered around the farmhouse, but a large building positioned approximately north-south is shown to the west of the lane into the farm. This is not shown on later historic maps.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
Main change is that the large building shown on the Tithe Map at the south-western side of the farm is now gone; a new barn building has been added, aligned north-east by south-west.
