Four toll houses were erected in the Okehampton area under the 1760 turnpike act. At the junction of Church Lane, Shobhill, the new road to Tavistock, and West Street this toll house was at the corner on the left hand side of the road going out of the town, about where the show room is now. This corner was improved in 1926.
