Remains Of Treadmill And Bakery With Attached Wall At Burton Agnes Hall

The remains of a treadmill and bakery with an attached wall at Burton Agnes Hall date from around 1600 and the 18th century, with later restorations. The structure is built from pinkish-orange brick with ashlar dressings and has a pantile roof. The bakery retains parts of three walls; the western wall measures approximately 4 metres by 4 metres and features an opening with a cavetto-moulded ashlar architrave. The eastern wall is about 1 metre long and 4 metres high, while the northern wall is nearly complete and forms one side of the treadmill. There are steps leading to the entrance of the treadmill, which has a timber lintel, and openings on the ground floor and gable, both with cavetto-moulded ashlar architraves. The treadmill is open on the eastern side, and the interior includes a well with ashlar sides and a partly restored treadmill wheel. The treadmill has a roof that is hipped to the north, and the northern wall extends approximately 5 metres, featuring an ashlar plinth and bell-shaped rubbed brick copings.
