Wickham Mill

Wickham Mill is a watermill located on Wickham Market High Street, dating from the late 18th century. The building is timber framed and weatherboarded, with white brick on the ground floor except at the rear, and features a plaintiled roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has three windows with small pane sashes in flush frames, along with a boarded door on the left side. A weatherboarded lucam is present at the gable end. The mill's machinery is complete and in working order, including a cast iron breast-shot waterwheel, cast iron wheelshaft, pitwheel, and wallower, as well as a wooden upright shaft and a good all-wood compass-arm spurwheel with cast iron stone nuts. There are three pairs of overdriven millstones with circular casings located on the first floor. Wickham Mill is noted for being a particularly fine and unaltered example of a watermill, contributing to an important traditional grouping of mill buildings.
