Full Description
SS 938 421. Barrow is indicated in the 1327 Lay Subsidy by the entry of Walter de Burghe and Agnes de Burghe. [1] The Wootton Courtenay Tithe Map suggests that it has shrunk and was formerly a larger hamlet, possibly working the iron ore deposits nearby. An estate called Allers and Heber Vale has disappeared. [2,3] Collinson mentions that the hamlet of Burrow only consists of three houses. [4] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [5]
