Full description

Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.

The place-name "Westerland" is first recorded in 1567, although it is likely that there was settlement here in the medieval period. [1] According to Lysons (1822) Westerland was a sub-manor of Paignton.[2] It was represented by the twin settlements of Higher and Lower Westerland; Middle Westerland is a later addition. The Old Farmhouse of Lower Westland (qv MTO 60033) may be the caput of the sub-manor [3].
