Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
'Barton' is depicted on the Tithe Map; 226 on the Rattery apportionment ('House, bartons and C'). The farm is laid out as a range of buildings around three sides (east, north and west) of a square courtyard. The farmhouse is in the south-western corner and there is a pond shown just to the north of the range.

By the late 19th century, some buildings have been added in the central yard area and the south-western corner of the range appears to have been altered slightly; farmhouse may have been changed / rebuilt. Large rectangular building aligned north-south is shown to the north of the farm.

At Marley, Rattery, the site of a medieval farmstead which, in 1086, was probably held by one of the two squires of the Manor of Rattery. In 1285 it was held along with Hood and Wallaford. Some later descents are given.

The modern map shows how the construction of the A38 has caused the south-eastern corner of the farm to be truncated. Some further modern buildings are shown to the north.
