Abstract: |
The results of a programme of historic building recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for Higher Park Farm, Crediton, Devon, carried out on behalf of Hargreaves Architecture and Design (the Agent) for a private client, in advance of a planning application. The farmstead at Higher Park is comprised of two adjoining yards flanked by farm buildings. The farm lies within the medieval Manor of Crediton Parks, the great deerpark attached to the palace of the Bishops of Exeter in Crediton. At the Dissolution, the park passed into secular hands and had been disemparked by 1598. Great Park (aka Higher Park) formed one part of what became known as the Manor of Crediton Parks. In 1808 it was a farm of 25a; the Bullers of Downes bought the Manor in 1837 and Great Park was expanded to 85a. The Downes Estate sold the farm to the County Council in 1921; the Farmhouse and buildings were sold from the land in 2016. Between 1839 and 1888, but most probably between 1839 and c.1855, most of the old farm buildings were demolished and replaced by a set of modern, efficient buildings. |
