Bodicote Mill

Bodicote Mill is a mill and attached mill house, likely built in the late 18th century, with the mill house dating to around 1840. Both structures were restored between 1988 and 1989. The mill is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with the returns in English garden wall bond, and the rear is made of rubblestone brought to course. It has a Welsh slate roof and stands three storeys tall, featuring two first-floor windows. The mill house, located to the right, is two storeys with an attic and has three bays.

The mill has segmental soldier-brick arches over its openings. On the left side, the top of the wheel-pit arch is visible, and there is a 20th-century board stable door to the right of centre, flanked by 12-pane sash windows. On the first and second floors, the right bay has a 15-pane sash window (originally a doorway) with a 6-pane sash above it, while the left side features a tall 24-pane sash window (which was formerly two separate windows). The eaves are dentilled.

The mill house has a plinth, and its openings are topped with keyed stone lintels. The central door consists of six flush panels and has an overlight with decorative glazing bars. Above the door is a blind window, and the other windows have 16-pane sashes. The mill house also has dentilled eaves, two restored gabled dormers, and brick end stacks.

At the rear, the building has brick quoins, one of which bears an eroded 17th-century date (possibly 1690). There are various late 20th-century small-pane windows with timber lintels. On the right side, there is a round brick arch leading to the wheel pit, which has a 20th-century rebuilt sluice in front. The left return features a door to the wheel pit and a bricked-up window in the gable.

Inside the mill, there are old beams and floorboards, and some of the original mill machinery remains, including the shaft, wallower, spur wheel, crown wheel, stone nuts with handles, two bedstones located on the first floor, and remnants of the pulley system.

A mill has existed at Bodicote, likely on this site, since the 11th century, and the current mill building is probably the one shown on Richard Davis's map of the County of Oxfordshire from 1797.
