Hatch, at Lodiswell, 'is a good example of an Elizabethan or early Jacobean farmstead'. (2)
A charter, dated at Westminster, Sept 20 1462 granted a licence to build walls and towers about and within his manor of Haicehe Arundell, co. Devon, and to enclose the said manor with walls and towers, and construct on the said walls and towers battlements, crenellations and machiolations. (3)
There are no traces of a building such as was licensed in the 15th century. The farm buildings are of little architectural interest. The farmhouse previously had a two-storeyed porch, which may be evidence of the 16th c. and early 17th c. date ascribed by Hoskins, but according to the farmer, Mr Hoskins, this was demolished some 15 years ago. Some of the material, including a moulded granite doorway was used in the reconstruction of Aveton Gifford church. A built up fireplace indicates that the farmhouse once extended further to the S.W. The building to the west of the farmhouse is that shown on OS 25" 1904 as containing remains of the barton, but externally it appears to be of 18th c. date.
