Full description

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

The Tithe Map shows the farm (1390 on the apportionment; 'Farm house and c'; part of Town Estate) with a house in the north-eastern corner (pre-dating the current old farmhouse), and agriculatural buildings to the south and west of the dwelling.

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

The late 19th century historic map shows the farm has developed since the Tithe Map depiction. A large square farmhouse has been built with a range of farm buildings bordering the southern, western and eastern sides of the farm, as well as more outbuildings along the northern side of the farm.

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

Town Barton is depicted on the modern mapping; the old farm buildings are unchanged in layout but have been converted to dwellings in modern times.
