Abstract:		 This document is an archaeological standing building survey of outbuildings at Westacott Farm, Crediton, Devon (NGR SX 84238 97627), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by R J Salter and Son in advance of the consented re-development of the buildings to residential use. Westacott Farm is an interesting farmstead with a range of building traditions. The recorded buildings are likely to be 19th century in date, although it is possible the buildings retain remnants of earlier buildings, particularly building B and the southernmost range of building C. Two of the buildings are cob built, a widespread building tradition in Devon that has persisted well into the modern era, cartographic sources indicate that building A was built sometime between 1841 and 1889. Building B is potentially earlier, but with a late 19th roof. Building C is, despite its appearance an interesting building, retaining traces of the former farmhouse, the northern part of the building is well finished in brick with iron windows and terracotta details, which are not common in agricultural buildings. The farm was formerly part of Westacott/Trobridge Estate of the Yarde-Buller Family and for a time the farm was tenanted by the farm bailiff to Sir Redvers Buller. At some point during the early 20th century the farm was sold by the estate and later amalgamated with the adjacent Eastacott Farm. The archive will be retained by ABRS under the temporary site code 2018-WFCD until deposition with Royal Albert Memorial Museum Exeter can be arranged.
