Greenwood's map of 1819 shows an area of enclosures on the east side of the common and shows two buildings at the southern end of this, the western of which was probably intended for this site. (3)
The Tithe map of 1842 shows a similar arrangement, with two buildings on this site, recorded as No. 189, a house, buildings and garden, owned by Robert Vyner and occupied by John Langley. (4-5)
