Brimley Mill

Brimley Mill is a mill house and water-mill dating from the early 19th century, featuring a reset datestone marked L.C. 1674. The building has rubble-stone walls and a slate roof, with brick stacks located at the left hand gable, centre ridge, and right hand gable. The right hand gable also has stone gable-coping. The structure stands three storeys high and has five windows, all of which are three-light casements with lead lights, along with one fixed window with glazing-bars that has replaced a door. To the right, there is a lower one-storey, one-bay range with three-light casements and a slate roof, which has a single brick stack. There are two doors approximately at the centre; one is a 19th-century door with two lights, and the other is a 20th-century door with six lights. Blue lias steps have been moved to the left to provide access to the door beside the water-wheel. The cast-iron wheel, built in 1852 in Beaminster, still functions, and the machinery is mainly intact, driving two mill-stones.
