Trenowth Mill

Trenowth Mill is an early to mid-19th century mill, built to process china clay. It is constructed of shale rubble with granite and brick dressings, and has an asbestos slate gabled roof. The building is rectangular and symmetrical, with four storeys plus an attic, and three windows facing the front. The ground floor features a wide, slightly arched doorway with granite voussoirs and a projecting keyblock. Flanking this doorway are window openings with shale lintels, likely surviving from an earlier, two-story structure. The first, second, and third floors have window openings, with the first floor openings appearing to be enlargements or insertions. The second phase of the mill's construction ended approximately halfway up these openings. The third floor and the gabled loading door (now a window in the attic) represent the final phase of building, and all openings within this phase have brick jambs and shallow brick arches. Windows are modern, small-paned casements with top openings. A stone on the west end of the ground floor is inscribed with "M Brewer 1896." The interior of the mill has not been inspected.
