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

Tithe Map depicts this building; plot 49 'cottages' on apportionment. The map shows four large main buildings making up the block of buildings in the centre of the square; these were mostly later subdivided, except number 5.

The late 19th century historic map shows that the building has been altered and may have been divided into an L-shaped building with smaller additional square building and passageway to the north-east.

The early 20th century historic map appears to show further alteration to the adjoining building to the north-east and possibly to this corner building also.
