Abstract:		 An historic building record at County Gate, Brendon and Countisbury, Devon was prepared by AC archaeology in March and June 2022 in advance of and during refurbishment of and repairs to the former Tourist Information Centre, a structure designated as a Grade II Listed Building. County Gate is a Grade II Listed Building constructed between 1842 and 1862, and possibly before 1850. It is often referred to as a toll house (including in the List entry description). However, there is no evidence that the A39 here has ever been a turnpike and therefore a toll road. Additionally, its architecture and position in relation to the adjacent highway are not typical for 19th-century toll houses. It appears to have been built for the Glenthorne Estate which was developed by the Halliday Family from 1829, and may have been a worker’s cottage or gatekeeper’s cottage. The ornate and multi- light front windows, although of different form to those in Glenthorne House (1829-30; National Heritage List for England entry 1212846) do draw some comparisons in forms of the multi-light form and ornate designs used within that building, and typical of the period.
