St Nicholas Priory at Barlynch, an Augustinian cell of Cleeve Abbey, was founded in 1174-89 and dissolved c.1537. Ruins of a probable guest house or infirmary and earthworks of a fishpond, leat and other buildings are visible. Fragments of wall thought to be the church and cloister are incorporated into garden walls and later buildings.

Waterleat Cottage is shown historic mapping at this site. All that remains is part of the west wall.

A motte and bailey castle of Norman origins was rebuilt in the mid 13th Century and 1420 before the motte was landscaped in the early 18th Century. The bailey is occupied by the existing house, built in c.1571 and altered in 1867. The site is likely to have been used prior to its Norman occupation.

The current farmstead was named Middle Barton on the Parracombe Tithe Map. Modern buildings encroach on the site of Higher Rowley, an adjacent farmstead that was demolished by the end of the 19th Century.

A 17th Century detached house.

A cottage likely to date to the early 18th Century, remodelled in the 19th Century. It may or may not have originally extended further to the west.
