Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Depicted on the Tithe Map as Higher Corndon: 1712 on Chagford Apportionment ('Higher and Western Corndon; House, garden and bye road'). Tithe Map actually depicts this farm with the number 1702, which is a duplication of a land parcel number to the north, adjacent to Middle Corndon, so it appears to have been a small error on the map labels.

By the late 19th century, this farm is depicted as 'Western Corndon', and the farm to the north has now become known as 'Higher Corndon'.

(20/11/2018) Documentary evidence suggests that the origins of West Corndon Farm may be as early as the 13th century indicating that the site has been occupied for around 700 years. Accordingly, West Corndon Farm is archaeologically significant due to its evidential value as the potential for the presence of buried archaeology reflecting its long occupation is high. Given this, the site must be considered an undesignated asset.
