| Summary: | Pound farm was built in about 1850, apparently built on the site of the original manor. The stones of a cider mill were found in the boundary wall between the farm and the primary school. The trough is about 98in diameter, 15.75in high. The grinding stone, now set in the stone wall above, is 46in long and 11in high with a central hole of 7in.
There is a documentary reference to Mrs Allday of the Royal Oak (Ivybridge) buying 68 gallons of syder made at Ivybridge Pound in 1784 @ 2d per gallon. |
