Description
1788 map marks watermill approx at NGR (B1).
1800 map marks 'Old Mill' approx at NGR (B2).
No visible indication of mill & no by-pass, but on so small a stream, the wheel might be mounted alongside a sluice, with a party wall in river bed. Track runs by churchyard towards mill site to disused bridge (B3).
Site visit suggests some artificial intervention in the course of the stream and a possile mill pond on the eastern side of a track. This track dog-legged on the 1st Edition OS map to the possible mill-site on the western side of the current track and the bridge was further downstream. Suggests it was a flash mill and would often have been short of water, so may have worked in tandem with the windmill (B4). NGR to sketch map.
