Marked on the Tithe Map of the parish, 1841, and recorded as being part of the estate of the Right Honorable Lord Vivien. In 1841 the Census Returns show that the holding was occupied and farmed by William Pritchard and his family, but by 1851 the farm of 80 acres (32.4 hectares) was taken over by Richard Hughes and he occupied the house along with his family and 3 servants; 2 labourers occupying one of the farm buildings. The house was uninhabited and undergoing further restoration at the time of the survey; the roof has been reslated.
