Bull Mill

Bull Mill is a mill house that has been converted into a semi-detached house, dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of random rubble stone with a tiled roof, which was formerly thatched, and features brick stacks. The building has an L-plan layout and is two stories high with an attic, comprising two windows that contain sash windows. There is no entrance at the front; instead, there is a 12-pane sash window set in a moulded stone architrave and a 20th-century tripartite sash window to the right. On the first floor, there is a 12-pane sash window in a moulded stone architrave and a 20th-century four-light casement. The attic gable to the right has a 2-light casement.

Attached to the right side is a lean-to porch that encloses a moulded stone window surround, which now serves as a doorway with a 20th-century door. The exterior also features an external stack and two roof gables, with the right-hand gable containing a 2-light casement. The rear of the building has a 12-pane sash window in a moulded stone architrave and a 2-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement. On the first floor, there are two 20th-century sashes, and the gabled rear wing includes a 20th-century door and casement on the return. The rear also has two 20th-century twelve-pane sashes and two 2-light ovolo-mullioned casements that light the stairs, along with one 2-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement in the attic.

The interior was altered in the 1980s but still retains a large stone fireplace with a Tudor arch and moulded jambs, and it is said to contain 17th-century panelling. There is also a mural by Lord Weymouth. The Adlam family occupied Bull Mill from the 16th to the 18th century, and the Everett family of Heytesbury operated a large clothing factory here in the 18th century. In the 19th century, the Wards and then the Jupes ran a successful silk mill at this location. The mill and factory closed in 1894, and the factory was dismantled in the 1920s.
