Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

'Clanaborough' is depicted on the Throwleigh Tithe Map; 557-8 on the apportionment ('Houses, courtlage and waste and garden plot', owned and occupied by John Aysh). The map shows a row of three roughly rectangular buildings in a parallel arrangement near the centre of the farm, with an L-shaped building to the south-west and a small structure to the north.

Group of buildings marked as Clannaborough. To the south of the farmhouse is a barn with a roundhouse attached while to the north is a smaller rectangular building with L-shaped ranges to the north-east and south-west. Comparison with the Tithe Map shows the roundhouse and the L-shaped range to the north-east to have been added between circa 1840 and 1880-1890.

Since the late 19th century historic map depiction, two new buildings have been added at Clannaborough, to the north-east of the farm; one is a large rectangular building (aligned north-south), while the other is a smaller, square structure. The barn with horse engine house is no longer shown.

Modern mapping of Clannaborough Farm shows the layout of the buildings largely unchanged from the late 19th/early 20th century historic mapping. The building at the south-west end of the farm is now a rectangle (having lost it's south-eastern wing). An additional small rectangular structure has been added at the northern end of the farm.
