Store/Shelter At Gill Mill

The store or shelter at Gill Mill dates from the mid-19th century and is constructed with a timber frame, partly covered in weatherboarding, and features a thatched hipped roof. The building has a small two-bay plan, open at the front and at the northeast end. It is a single-storey structure with an open two-bay southeast front and a one-bay southwest end supported by timber posts. The rear (northwest) and northeast end are weatherboarded and sit on a stone plinth or floor. Inside, the building has collar and tie-beam trusses with one tier of tenoned purlins, and the common rafters and ridgeboard are intact. The wall posts do not have jowls and feature short straight braces to the wall plates. The wall framing on two sides includes studs and long straight tension braces, with no midrail present.
