Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Rora is depicted on the Tithe Map. 248 on Apportionment (House and road), with associated plots, gardens, orchards etc.
Tithe map shows a building adjoining the farmhouse at right angles, which is not shown on later maps, as well as associated buildings on the south and eastern sides of the farmyard.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The late 19th century depiction of the farmstead shows that the building adjoining the farmhouse at right angles, facing east, has already gone. Several of the farm buildings are still in existence, including buildings to the east of the farmyard and also along the southern edge of the yard.

Rora is probably identical with 'la Hore' (1230 Pipe Rolls and 1238 Assize Rolls), indicating at least mid-13th century origins for this farmstead.
