Former Mill North East Of Whaddon Grove Farmhouse

The former mill, located northeast of Whaddon Grove Farmhouse, dates from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of squared limestone with ashlar dressings and features a double Roman tile hipped roof with a short ridge topped by a wrought-iron weathervane. The building is square in plan, with its entrance on the west side and originally housed a waterwheel on the east side.

The mill stands three storeys tall. The west front includes doorways on both the ground and first floors, while the south side has a window on each of the three floors. The north side is blind and features an iron hoist positioned high on the wall. The east side contains openings on the ground floor and under the eaves on the second floor, along with circular grooves in the wall indicating where the waterwheel was located. The interior lacks mill machinery.

It is reputed that the mill was built by the Long family, who were clothiers and members of the Wiltshire gentry. Their mansion, which stood on the site of Whaddon Grove Farmhouse, was demolished in the early 19th century. The mill is situated on Semington Brook, a tributary of the River Avon.
