Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
'Lower Hill Town' is depicted on the Tithe map, 801 on the Peter Tavy apportionment: 'House and Lawn'. The farmstead has a simple layout of three buildings. The large, roughly square farmhouse at the south-east, and two buildings to the north-north-west, one of which is a large L-shaped structure.

The late 19th century historic map shows the farmhouse and the L-shaped building to the north but the third building is gone.
