Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
This farm lies in an area that used to belong to Bovey Tracey parish, rather than Lustleigh. The farm should be visible on the Tithe Map but this area of the Bovey Tracey map is not available; possibly due to damage.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The farmstead at ‘Knowle’ is shown on late 19th century map as a large group of buildings around a rectilinear yard with an opening in the southeast corner. Knowle House lies just to the south of the south-western corner of the range.
Ordnance Survey, 1904 - 1906, Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch Map (Cartographic). SDV325644.
By the early 20th century, a dramatic change has occurred at the farm, with only a small section of the farm buildings remaining, in the south-eastern corner of the range. One or two small structures are left at the north and another building unconnected to the range set just to the west is also still shown.
