II
Farmhouse, now a house. C18 remodelling and alteration of earlier house with C19 extension. Painted render over rubblestone; slate and pantile roof, rubblestone stack to rear right and left gable end, brick stack to left-of-centre. Probably 3-unit through-passage plan later divided into 2 dwellings, now with a C19 double-gabled rear wing to the rear left and lean-to to the right; now one house. 2 storeys; 4-window range. Mostly C19 two-light casement windows with small panes. The pantiled left end of the house, built into the hillside, has 2 half-dormers and a door to the left. The slate-roofed right end has a C19 gabled porch flanked by a 2-light window to the right and 3-light window to the left. INTERIOR: altered, but photographs of a former open fire and bread oven under a central rear lateral stack exist. HISTORY: The name probably means that it was a farm developed on a block of strips or shot, at the end of one of the open fields. This may mean that it originated in the 1400s when demesne land was let for a money-rent and could by held in a block with other strips. (Binding H: Minehead: A New History: Minehead: 1977-: 202).
