Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording at Foxhole Farm Halwill, Beaworthy, Devon. This work was undertaken in advance of proposed alterations to the property, in order to inform and guide those proposed alterations and establish the historical context of the building. The hamlet of Foxhole is first documented in 1238, but documentary references to the hamlet and its individual tenements are very sparse. It probably formed part of the Domesday manor of Halwill, and in 1842 one of the three tenements making up the hamlet was owned by the lord of the manor Sir William Molesworth. The hamlet lay at the centre of its own medieval common open field system, enclosed through agreement in the late medieval or early post-medieval period. The Soby family owned this farmhouse in 1842, and their descendants only sold the property in 1998. The current Farmhouse has a medieval core but is not a longhouse; the shippon appears to be a later 18th or early 19th century structure, probably built up and incorporating earlier stonework. The medieval core consists of a passage and open hall, with a room over the passage extending via a jetty into the open hall. In the early 17th century, a crosswing and detached bakehouse was constructed, the hall floored to create a first-floor bedroom and a lateral stack for a fireplace added. The crosswing was fully incorporated into the house in the 18th century, with the addition of a heated parlour and additional first-floor room, and a pump room was added to the rear. The roof of the house and the threshing barn appear to have been replaced at this time. This phase saw the remodelling of an existing and rather fine staircase. Later in the 18th century, the shippon was built on the footprint of what may have been service rooms for the hall. In the 19th century, a pigsty was built abutting the shippon, and some re-modelling of the house (doors, bread oven, etc.) occurred.
