Building record MAB36945 - MILL OF LETHNOT

Former corn mill, dated 1772.

Former corn mill, dated 1772. It is depicted on the 1st edition OS map as a rectangular corn mill, with three associated rectangular buildings and a long L-plan building. There is a garden enclosure depicted to the north, which is quartered. There is a pond and sluice further to the north, with a mill lade joining it to the river to the north-west. On the 2nd edition OS map, the southern-most associated rectangular building is depicted as L-plan, and the pond to the north is depicted as having a dam. The garden enclosure to the north is no longer depicted as being quartered. Current maps show the long L-plan building has been shortened, and only two of the associated buildings remain. The southern-most L-plan building has been extended to the south. The mill is two-storey and rubble-built, with a piended roof at one end. There is ashlar work at the wheel on the south-east gable, which is now removed but was approximately 11 feet (3.4 metres) in diameter. The mill is initialled IY IS, and dated 1772. The garden enclosure has been removed. The pond remains, but the mill lade, dam and sluice are no longer depicted. A Level 2 Standing Building Survey was carried out in April 2018 by Cameron Archaeology prior to proposed alterations and conversion.
