When Chettiscombe was acquired by John Heathcoat, the field below Knightshayes Plantation was an orchard, which it remained until the late 19th century. By the time of the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map in 1903, it had been reduced to a single row of trees around its perimeter, opening up the views in a wide arc to the east and south. Other details: Figure 31.
