The village has its origins in 1785, when Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, Secretary to the Prince of Wales, leased a large area of moorland from the Duchy of Cornwall estate, hoping to convert it into good farmland.
This road is an extension of the one constructed by Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt to his property at Tor Royal.
