HISTORY: Byland seems to have originated as a farmstead, and is shown with a house on an Ashburton map of 1605. In 1840 the tithe apportionment referred to it simply as' Court Field and Barn' and the tithe map shows it in its present form as an outfarm. A good example of a complete C18 courtyard group of farmbuildings.
