(26/09/1950) SX 4997 7910 North Warne. Modern house on site of Medieval farmhouse. Demolished about 1920.
The old farmhouse which stood here at the time of the first Devonshire Ordnance Survey map revision (1907) was completely demolished, and a new house built on the same site, about 30 years ago (1950). It has retained the same name and serves as an orphanage for the Devonport Royal Dockyard (oral information from Mr G T Goodring, Sec. to Devonport Royal Dockyard Orphanage, 26/09/1950).
(03/01/1952) The building to the east is an outbuilding (of North Warne) consisting of old stable and a circular granary (now cattle shed). Neither appears to be very old.
