The farmstead of Houghton Barton was probably in existence by the 13th century, although the first reference to a 'barton' is in 1713. The most significant developments in the area took place in the early 20th century, with the construction of Seale-Hayne College, and an inspection of standing buildings on the site suggests only limited survival of structures pre-dating this. Building 25 incorporates remains of earlier structures that are perhaps part of the previous farm arrangement; building 26 is of late 19th or early 20th century date; building 29 is likely to have been a farm structure of possible 18th century date, and openings on the south-east wall suggest it was once a shippon or stable; building 30 is also likely to be part of the original arrangement, perhaps an outbuilding or privy adjacent to the original farmhouse. Other details: Figures 4-9; plates 5-7.
