Whitecliff House and Farm are mentioned several times in the book "The Industrial Teagues" by Ralph Anstis, James Teague bought the House in 1817 shortly before his death...... and Peter Teague lived there from about 1818

" It is a high place with a nice front. Trees and shrubs are on the other side of the road. At the back is a lawn and fruit trees. It is a most healthy spot to live. Out buildings and other things to make it look most noble and grand and beautiful for pleasure "
