Stowgate contains very few houses, most of which are farmhouses. The settlement grew up around Stowgate Farm – the farmhouse of which still exists – which was divided into a number of smaller farms intended to provide housing and agricultural land for those who contributed to war effort.^{[citation needed]} One farm was demolished in the 1950s.^[1]

An Ordnance Survey map from 1898 provides a visual record of Stowgate Farm during that period.^[2]
