Tregidden Mill

Tregidden Mill is a water mill, now used as a store, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with granite quoins and dressings, featuring brick segmental arches over the openings. The building has a hipped slate roof with clay ridge tiles and is almost square in plan, standing two storeys tall. The east front is symmetrical, with a central stable door, a two-light horizontal sliding sash window with 12 panes to the left, and a fixed casement window with glazing bars partially filling the opening to the right. There is a central opening above these features. To the right-hand gable end, there is a single-storey extension made of stone rubble with a lean-to corrugated roof. The ground on the south side rises to facilitate loading, and there are four rubble steps leading to a first-floor entrance, which is partly blocked. At the rear of the mill, there is a 20-foot hybrid wheel made by Holman & Sons Limited from St Just-in-Penwith. The mill retains a complete set of horizontal gearing from its two stones, along with a wooden axle-tree and bearing for the water wheel. Tregidden Mill was first mentioned in 1250.
