Full Description
(S1) describes this as a Georgian house (presumably the blacksmith's house) and attached forge. The building appears on (S2) in its present form. (S1) confuses this building with a large body of water on the Tithe Map (S3) - none of the buildings which make up this range are in fact present on (S3), and the apportionment states that the land is pasture, owned by the Dikereeves of West Lynn. (S4) indicates that in 1904 this was also the Post Office. The original purpose of the building which became the forge is unknown but (S1) states that there was no blacksmith listed in West Lynn in 1883. (S1) states that the range of buildings described as a forge is still in use as a blacksmith's yard.
