HER Number:MDV77683
Name:Forder farmstead, Gidleigh

Summary

Farmstead dates to the 16th century, based on cartographic evidence. Depicted on the Tithe Map and later historic maps as 'Forder', although the modern maps show both North and South Forder which seem to indicate a division has taken place. A number of the buildings depicted on the tithe map remain.
