On the Tithe Map of 1842, the Bampton road passes close by the house to the east. The map shows the outline of the late 18th century shrubbery running down the eastern boundary with the Bampton road. By 1868 John Heathcoat Amory had applied to the Turnpike Trust to re-route the road, and a new road up the valley between Knightshayes and Allers was completed and the old turnpike closed in 1869.
