4/185 Threshing barn 30 metres to north
- east of Basil Manor and waterwheel
approximately 50 metres to east of
barn

GV II

Threshing barn with mill machinery and water wheel. Probably late C18 with earlier
origins. Stone rubble. Slate roof with gable ends.
Plan: Overall rectangular plan barn with threshing floor on first floor. Built into
the bank with direct access to first floor from rear. The mill machinery is
accommodated on the ground floor, below the threshing floor and to right with a pair
of millstones which were probably originally in an outshut on front, the roof of the
outshut now gone and the stones and associated shafts are now standing in the open.
The machinery was powered by a large water wheel some 50 metres below the barn; the
iron rods which connected the wheel to the machinery are insitu; an unusual survival.
Exterior: Two storeys. Front elevation of barn is of two storeys with the remains
of several outshuts in front. Wide threshing doors on first floor to right and two
reset circa C19 timber mullion and transom windows with Perpendicular traceried
lights to left. Pair of millstones directly to front. The left hand side elevation
has C20 doors on ground floor and circa C19 timber mullion and transom window with
Perpendicular traceried light above. Rear elevation partly built into bank with
direct access to first floor with two wide doors. Lean-to outshut on right hand end.
Interior: The mill machinery has been partitioned off for safety and was not
accessible. C19 floor joists and circa early C19 roof with principals partly halved,
lap-jointed and pegged and bolted. Collars lap-jointed and pegged and bolted onto
face of principals.
The water wheel below the barn is of overshot hybrid type and appears to have
complete timber buckets.
