Bere Mill

Bere Mill is a house dating from the 18th century and early 19th century, attached to a water mill. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring red tile roofing with half-hips and gables, as well as hipped dormers. The house is constructed of painted brickwork in Flemish bond, with a first-floor band, cambered openings, and a tarred plinth. The mill has boarded walling above a ground-floor brick wall, which has been somewhat altered and contains flint panels. The windows are casements.

There is a gabled porch with brick dentil detailing and a four-centred arch, leading to a six-panelled door in a solid frame. Above the door, the wall features a sculptured crest. A side door, which is also six-panelled, is set within a modern porch. A plaque above the door displays a diamond shield within an oval frame, inscribed with 'this House and Mill Built by Jane the Widow of The Deane Esq in 1710'. This site is historically significant as it is where Henri Portal, a Huguenot refugee, first made water-marked paper in 1710.
