Vielstone seems to have been among the largest north Devon households of the late 17th century: the Hearth Tax Returns of 1674 record that John Stevens, its owner, had 22 hearths in the parish, in addition to Cross (House) at Little Torrington.
During restoration following a fire in the 1970s, tow whole tiles and three fragments all with plaster on the reverse, were found in 2005 in a bread oven beside the main ground floor fireplace. The designs were type vK35 (a Tudor rose, believed to be made in Bideford), with two of K13 and a half of vK26. The last two designs are believed to have been made in Great Torrington, vK26 at the Castle Hill pottery.
