Full Description
Farm and remains of mill complex. The remains of the cornmill stand to the north of the farm (which is still in use), and is depicted along with a mill pond, dam, lade, sluices and weirs on both the 1st edition and 2nd edition OS maps. The pond, dam and lade have since been destroyed. Standing building survey of the cornmill was carried out by Alder Archaeology in September 2018 ahead of proposed development. The mill fabric and form are consistent with an 18th century date of construction, with a datestone of 1723 incorporated into the north wall, although there is documentary evidence for a mill on or near the site as early as 1517. The mill is of grey stone rubble construction, with stugged squared casings of doors and windows, and traces of lime mortar and possible harling apparent on the west and south elevations. The east end, which was semi-circular, probably contained a corn-drying kiln.
