Description
Ham Mill, now a house, was built in 1818. A graffito indicating the date is visible on the brickwork. The mill is constructed of random bond brick with an old tile roof, and features a late 20th-century brick lateral stack. The building is in an L-shaped layout with a 5-window front. Segmental arches of alternating red and flared brick frame 20th-century casement windows. The roof is half-hipped. A plank door is located at the rear, and a round-headed first-floor entry is found in the left side wall. A breast-shot water wheel was constructed by Gibbons of Wantage and is attached to a shaft that passes through the right side wall. Attached to the rear right is a two-story granary with weatherboarded cladding and an old tile half-hipped roof, featuring a door and casement windows. Inside, the mill retains a 6-bay collar-truss roof. The ground floor has vertical posts supporting chamfered beams, whilst the rear right wing includes a 3-bay collar-truss roof with jowled posts.
