Full description
South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.
The Tithe Map shows a square end to the farm building at the centre of Hawsons Farm thought to be the pound house. Shown as part of the farm building aligned south-west by north-east; the pound house forms the north-eastern end of this building.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century historic map shows this building as a rectangular structure at the north-eastern end of the central building. Appears larger than shown on the Tithe Map, so may have been extended.
