Duxford Mill

Duxford Mill is a mill and mill house located on Duxford Mill Lane, dating from the 18th century, with early 19th-century rebuilding and later 19th-century modifications. It was restored and converted for domestic use around 1946, designed by architect H.C. Hughes. The building features red 18th-century brick, reused 19th-century stock brick, painted brick, timber framing, and weatherboarding, topped with plain tiled mansard roofs and gable end stacks.

The mill, situated to the southeast, is a long range of two storeys and two storey attic, accompanied by a single storey wheel house, while the mill house also has two storeys with an attic. The northeast elevation has a blocked main entrance to the mill house, with two entrances to the left featuring glazed doors. There are four ground floor sixteen-paned hung sash windows set in segmental brick arches, along with eight first floor windows that include three hung sash windows and four metal framed casement windows. A fixed-light six-paned window has replaced the original sack hoist opening, and there are two dormer windows with casements. A carved brick inscription reading 'R.C. ESQ' is located near the quoin on the northeast side of the mill house.

Inside, the mill's internal frame is made of elm, with some timber identification marks still visible. Notable surviving features include a cast iron mill wheel with an 18-foot diameter, which was fitted in 1888 with four grinding stones that were removed around 1946. The mill site is historically significant, having been recorded in the Domesday survey and originally owned by the de Colville family with Temple Manor in 1200, later given to the Knight's Templars in 1230.
