MEM23643 - Post-medieval houses south of Higher Bumsley (Monument)

The Tithe Map for Parracombe shows two buildings, the larger at c. SS 6545 4579 and the smaller at c. SS 6546 4580. They are within a small group of enclosures, labelled 762 and 761. The accompanying apportionment describes 761 as "Garden" and 762 as "Houses & Courtlages", both owned and occupied by Richard Dovell, who also possessed much of the surrounding area. [1] The buildings had been cleared by the time the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map was surveyed, however, the enclosures for the buildings and garden have apparently been largely preserved. [2-4]
