<1> See map for surveyor, c.1837-51, Cheshire Tithe Maps and Awards, EDT 380/2, 1844 (Maps and Plans). SCH3266.

The tithe map depicts approximately seven buildings in plots 145 and 147 (see 1). The three larger buildings define a possible yard on three sides. The accompanying award records both these plots as being held by the same tenant. The adjacent plot 146 is held by a different tenant and does not seem to be part of the farmstead.

Similar to (1). The shape of the buildings suggests that of the three buildings adjacent to the possible yard, the building to the north-west is the farmhouse. Other buildings are probably a barn, dairy etc.

This map suggests that this farmstead may have merged with the adjacent one in plot 146 (see 1). The outbuildings have been demolished and new buildings built to the south and west, adjacent to the other farmstead.
