Full Description

The site is clear on the Parracombe Tithe Map. [1] The 1st and 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey maps show a building sited here labelled "Plymouth Brethren Chapel". [2,3] The building was extant in 2016 and was in use as a house. [4] The building is labelled "Woodcote" on the 2022 MasterMap data. [5] According to map evidence, Woodcote is the former Plymouth Brethren Chapel, although externally on the north elevation there is nothing in the current dwelling to suggest this. It is likely to have originated in the late 19th Century. [6] The heritage asset was assessed for inclusion on the Exmoor Local Heritage List in November 2022. It was decided to add the asset to the Local Heritage List. [7]
