Formerly known as: Water Mill to Granary COCKINGTON LANE.
Water mill, now used as a cafeteria. Late C19, the wheel is
dated 1878, probably older origins, considerably restored in
C20 in Lutyens style. Local stone rubble, thatch roof.
PLAN: Long building on a north-west/south-east axis. Overshot
wheel on south-west side. South-east end terraced into
hillslope with wide loading doorway from terrace. External
stone steps to first floor doorway on north-east side.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Much restored in C20. Although most of
the openings are probably original they now contain C20
windows and doorway. The stone steps are C20 and include a
niche with a basin over a small ornamental pond. North-west
end has full-height opening, now blocked with ranges of
windows on each floor. The cast-iron wheel has founders' mark;
H Beare and Sons, Newton Abbot, 1878. Roof hipped both ends
and eaves have wide eyebrows over the openings.
INTERIOR remodelled in C20, including roof.
Remnants from ancilliary mill buildings to south-west and

The mill forms part of an exceptionally attractive group of
listed buildings in an unspoilt village and the adjoining
