Lanner Farm. Animal House And Store

Lanner Farm is a farm building that includes an animal house and store, dating from the 17th to 18th century, with extensions from the 18th or early 19th century. It is constructed of killas stone, featuring large granite moorstone quoins, and has a cob upper floor. The roof is made of scantle slate.

On the ground floor, there are three two-light timber openings with timber lintels, a pair of doors, and cart doors. The upper floor has two pitching doors and three similar vents. There is ramp access to the first floor at the rear, located at the center of the earlier building. The eaves are made of large slates, and a 20th-century lean-to has been added along the rear.

Inside, there are 11 Cornish trusses, and the upper floor is rendered internally with slating torched.

Lanner was established by Bishop Branescombe in the 13th century and became an important barton of the see of Exeter, with the bishops visiting frequently between 1269 and 1328. The current house is not of special interest.
