Description
The building containing the mill wheel at Teddesley Home Farm is an engine house and water wheel, constructed around 1837 for Lord Hatherton of Teddesley Park. It is made of red brick in English garden wall bond and features a Welsh slate roof with gabled ends. The structure is rectangular and built at right angles to an earlier barn.
It has two storeys, a loft, and a basement. On the south side, there are blocked windows on each floor to the left and a ground floor window on the right. The west gable end has a central doorway with a segmental arch and a plank door, along with a loft window in the gable above.
Inside, there are brick stairs and ashlar piers leading to the wheel pit, which is carved into the sandstone bedrock. The water wheel has a diameter of 38 feet and is a pitch-back design. The water supply pipes include valves and a governor, and there is a culvert in the rock that serves as a tailrace to direct water away.
This mill was designed to drain fields on the estate and to power farm machinery on the large planned farmstead, which dates back to the 18th century and has undergone improvements in the 19th century. Drainage water from the estate farmland flows through culverts and pipes to the wheel and is then taken away in a culvert within the wheel pit.
