Known as MELPLASH COURT FARM. I know nothing of its history but I believe it is listed as a building of historical interest. The partitions referred to [in T1] have recently been removed <2.1>. A well preserved stone built farmhouse with exterior evidence of recent modernisation but with no visible dateable feature. A name plate reads MELPLASH COURT FARM. Classification in T1 accepted. <2>
