Full description
Laithwaite, M., 1987, The Bishop's Palace at Bishop's Tawton (Report - Survey). SDV357891.
Abutting the churchyard and linked to the farmhouse by a series of outbuildings is an old two-storeyed building. This is constructed of rubble stone with no datable features. There is a wooden doorway with a four-centred arch in the south wall but this may not be in its original position. The chamfered upper floor beams referred to in the 1985 listing description have now been sawn out. The connecting outbuildings contain re-used material of medieval appearance.
