Full description

Horner, W., 04/04/2001, Archaeological Recording at Mount Ford, Tavistock (Correspondence). SDV350381.

The moulded stone artefact is not Coade stone, but a comparable imitation stone product. It probably dates from the early 19th century, which would tie in with the construction of the Workhouse in 1817-18.
