Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
The farmstead is depicted on the Tithe Map at 'Deancoomb', which appears to have been a thriving settlement at this time. The apportionment records this holding as 'Veal's Estate', and the farm consists of the farmhouse and courtyard, associated with at least five buildings arranged to the south and south-west of the house.
