Full description
South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments, Plots 172, 174 (Cartographic). SDV359954.
(Plot 172) Agricultural building opposite the Dartmoor Inn is recorded on the Tithe Map apportionment as part of the Dartmoor Inn and premises. Shown on the map as a substantial square structure with a small addition on the borth-western side.
(Plot 174) Building depicted on the Tithe Map as a rectangular agricultural building in the corner of this plot, aligned roughly south-west by north-east. Appears to have served as a field barn at this time; apportionment records for this plot 'Lower Meadow' record the same owner (John Gubbins Newton) and occupier (George Blatchford) as the inn.

Buildings are unchanged on the late 19th century historic map.
Ordnance Survey, 1904 - 1906, Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch Map (Cartographic). SDV325644.
Division between the buildings has been removed by the time of the early 20th century historic map.
Ordnance Survey, 2023, Mastermap 2023 (Cartographic). SDV365227.
Modern mapping of Lowermead Barn shows that the former agricultural buildings have been joined together; possibly at the time the use of the structures was changed to residential use.
