Abstract:		 Withycombe Farm is located in the parish and former Manor of Challacombe. Challacombe and several adjacent farms were small Domesday estates, and despite the fact that Withycombe is not documented until 1678, it is possible the site is of comparable antiquity. The farm formed part of the Castle Hill/Fortescue Challacombe and Exmoor Estate until 1959. For the much of the second half of the 19th century the farm was leased by the Dallyn family; thereafter by the Ridd family. The farmhouse is highly enigmatic. It is not shown on the tithe map yet contains a range of 17th and 18th century features, including a well-preserved multi-cell dairy. Unless the tithe map is taken to be wholly unreliable, it suggests the farmhouse was partly built using materials from an older house that had been demolished. That house is likely to have been at Withycombe, but it is just possible the house at Radworthy was the source. With the exception of its windows, the farmhouse at Withycombe is almost unchanged from the structure that was built in the 1860s, and thus is of much more value.
