Thorp, J., 2019, Stable immediately west of Wedlake Farmhouse, Peter Tavy, 1-8, figs (Report - Assessment). SDV363773.

Stable recorded at Wedlake during 2019 assessment. The western stable was built before 1843 – probably in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The range was enlarged with raised walls between 1883 and 1904 on map evidence.
It is an unassuming vernacular farm building in an attractive group in a rather wonderful moorland setting. The western stable preserves a traditional feeding trough and hayrack. It forms part of a complete group of traditional farm buildings with no 20th century or later buildings on the site. Together they represent the mixed agricultural regime that was prevalent before the mid 20th century. See report for full detail.
