Full Description

A long farm building range is shown orientated north to south on the Exford Tithe Map, centred at c. SS 8281 3985. It was abutted by the original farmhouse (MEM22503). [1] The building appears to have been demolished by the time the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map was published, to enable a smaller building to be constructed slightly to the east. However, it is possible this later building retains elements of the earlier building's fabric. [2]
