Trethake Mill

Trethake Mill is a corn water mill, likely dating from the 18th century, situated within the course of a stream and undergoing conversion into a dwelling. The mill is constructed of rubblestone with a slate roof featuring gable ends. The north front is asymmetrical and features a back-shot hybrid water wheel. The wheel's inner side bears the maker’s name, "Oatleys of Wadebridge." Windows have been inserted above the wheel on the first floor and to the right. Twentieth-century four-light timber casements with glazing bars are present, along with a door set within a brick segmental arch. The gable end incorporates two ground-floor windows with three-light timber casements and glazing bars. The rear of the mill retains original openings, including a timber lintel above a ground-floor door opening and two-light centre-hung casements with glazing bars on the first floor. An extension to the east gable end was rebuilt in the 1980s. Significantly, a complete and outstanding collection of wooden mill machinery remains in situ. The mill's history can be traced back to 1309 and was later known as Kent’s mill.
