Full Description
The 1838 Tithe Map and Apportionment show three buildings and several small closes at Lower Spire; it is listed as part of Liscombe's 267 acres. [1,2] An early 19th Century map shows "Spire." [3] By 1822 Lower Spire is depicted as a farmstead in its own right. [4] By the end of the 19th Century the layout of the main farm buildings has changed slightly, and the arrangement of enclosures around the large barn is more complex. [5] By 1902 the main farm building has been replaced by two cottages on a site just to the north. [6] Large scale mapping drawn in 1973 shows Lower Spire Cottages as two buildings. The pattern of enclosures survives, but the large barn has gone. [7] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [8]
