Site Event/Activity record EEM14546 - 2014: HBR - Little Hiccombe

The present building at Little Hiccombe dates to the late 1920s or early 1930s, although it is positioned on the site of an earlier building, which is shown on the 1840 tithe map, but had been demolished by 1888. The earlier building at Little Hiccombe and the various small garden/orchard plots (many of which are still traceable in the present boundaries) may represent a ‘squatter’ settlement on roadside waste/edge of common location. The present structure is of limited architectural interest or historic merit, as nothing of the historic structure appears to survive. There may be below ground traces of the earlier building, but these are likely to have been severely truncated by the present structure.
