Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Eight small fields depicted on Tithe Map, plots 450-7. The names recorded on the apportionment which include Higher Newtake, Middle field, Lower Field and Lower Newtake suggest that they were created as newtakes in the 18th or early 19th century, perhaps from a larger medieval holding (the curving northern boundary is suggestive of a medieval origin).
