8/298 The Old Mill
-

GV II

Mill incorporating miller's house. Probably C18 with a C20 wing. Rendered cob and
stone rubble; corrugated iron roof (formerly thatched), gabled at ends ; projecting
gable end stack.
Plan: Gable on to the road, a single depth building with the mill to the rear and the
miller's house to the front which has a principal heated room and a gable end
entrance into a narrow service room. The water wheel no longer exists but
considerable machinery survives in the mill which ceased to work circa 1880,
(information from owner).
Exterior: 2 storey house, 3 storey mill. Exterior rather inaccessible due to
undergrowth. The gable end has a C20 front door to the right of the stack and 2 C19
or early C20 timber casements with glazing bars to the left C20 wing at right angles
to the building largely clad with corrugated iron.
Interior: Modern fireplace to the house, said to conceal a larger, earlier fireplace.
A C20 bathroom projects into the first floor of the mill which preserves 3 gearing
wheels, one with, timber teeth, 2 grinding stones and rear access at first floor
level.
