Full description

Weddell, P. J., Report. (Report - Survey). SDV23526.

Vis=29/1/1985 (weddell) no buildings on this site now, some fragments of walls - generally overgrown with scrub. The present farm site is now divided into two holdings called jackleigh and higher jackleigh and the tithe map name "unity" suggests that this amalgamation may have already taken place, and the old site was abandoned as a farm, but continued as a dwelling (weddell).

Weddell, P. J. + Holbrook, N., Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV99893.

Vis=appears to have been associated at an earlier period with a tenement called week chapel (documented 14c). It would seem likely that the week chapel farm site first adopted the name higher jackleigh and then transferred a few hundred metres n to the site of the sister farm (weddell + holbrook).
