Abstract:
Powlesland Farm is a well-preserved example of a Devon longhouse lying on the north-eastern edge of the parish of South Tawton on the northern edge of Dartmoor, The house is clearly of medieval origin, perhaps dating from as early as the 14th century, and preserves smoke blackening of the roof structure at the centre of the house, which demonstrates the presence of an open hearth prior to the addition of the hall chimney. The house is remarkable in particular for the 17th century alterations, including the flooring over of the hall which, most unusually, can be very closely dated by documentary evidence to the 1640s. There is also a ruined detached building which may be a former manorial chapel. The former shippon was converted into garages in the 1950s .
