Great Cheverell Mill

Great Cheverell Mill is a watermill dating from the 19th century, situated on Hawkeswell Brook. It is constructed of brick in an English garden wall bond and has a double roll pantiled roof. The mill is a tall, rectangular block of three storeys, consisting of two distinct builds. The earlier western section has two bays and originally contained a breast-shot water wheel in a race at the gable end, beneath a former lean-to (the wheel was absent in 1986). This section features timber casement windows and a tall window in the gable. The later, eastern build is similar, with two bays and matching windows, though it has a 20th-century gable door and side panel. A spillway with a timber sluice is located on the south side. The interior has been partially converted into a dwelling; however, the western end retains historical milling machinery, including a pit wheel, wallower, a wooden spur wheel, and wooden toothed ironstone nuts that drove two pairs of stones. One pair of these stones are French burrs.
