In October 1849 the Pilton House Estate was sold by auction. This image is the plan of the estate included in the Sale Brochure. The auction was held by Farebrother, Clark & Lye at the Golden Lion Inn, Barnstaple on Friday 12th October 1849 in a total of thirty-three lots.
The Sale Brochure was found in Pilton House and details of the lots will be uploaded into the archive in due course.
Enormous thanks are due to Louise Thomas, Manager of Pilton House, for showing us this historic document.
