Full description

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

The Tithe Map shows that at this time the farm had a farmhouse in the northern section of the farm, which clearly preceded this dwelling. 641 on the apportionment.

The late 19th century historic map shows that the new farmhouse has now been constructed, to the south of the farm.

Town Barton Farmhouse (not listed)
Built in the mid 19th century with tall sash windows and a slated roof, this farmhouse has a fairly formal appearance. However, its low eaves and the decorated gables of its half-dormers and porch purposefully create a cottagey character that is most suited to its rural setting.


Ordnance Survey, 2016, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359352.

'Town Barton' is depicted on the modern mapping.
