Full description
South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.
'Willingstone' is depicted on the Tithe Map. The farm consists of Higher (plot 1968) and Lower (plot 1970) Court, with gardens (plots 1966, 1967 and 1969) and an orchard (plot 1957). The buildings depicted in Higher Court consist of a possible longhouse aligned approximately north-east by south-west with three small associated structures to the south. In Lower Court, there is an L-shaped building at the northern end of plot 1970 with another structure to the south, as well as a building shown in garden plot 1967.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
By the later 19th century historic map depiction, most of the potential longhouse is no longer shown; only the eastern end survives; none of the associated structures are now shown and the farm has been developed at the northern end, with an additional building added to the east of the L-shaped farmhouse.

Modern mapping shows the farm buildings have been redeveloped and possibly entirely replaced, although the structure in the garden plot to the south may retain older fabric.
