Description
The old house that was immediately east of the present Stoates Farmhouse was part of Eastcott’s Land in the 1809-12 Holnicote Estate Survey. Chadwick Healey (1901) suggests that the Estcotes held land in Lynch as early as 1325 (p.14). On the 1841 Tithe the house is recorded as a cottage, and on the 1876 Holnicote Estate map it is shown as an outline but the site (no. 107) is given as gardens. Condition: demolished. Further information: see maps and records, Holnicote Estate Office. [1]
