Mill, At Farm Mill

This is an early to mid-19th century water mill and cartshed, situated at Farm Mill. The building is constructed of roughly squared, coursed stone, with a brick porch, weather-boarded timber framing over the cartshed entrance, and tiled roofs. The mill is a single-room structure of two and a half storeys, while the cartshed is a 3-bay, 2-storey building. The cartshed is set at a right angle to the road, featuring a wide gable opening without a door, supported by a timber lintel. A central boarded door sits within the weatherboarding, and the roof is hipped. A leanto addition to the right return is of no particular interest. The left return of the cartshed is plain, except for a 2-light window with iron bars set under the eaves. The mill is taller, with a brick gable facing the road. A single-storey gabled porch is on the right, with an open end, boarded gable, and a boarded door divided into two halves, set within a cambered brick arch. To the left of the porch is a window with iron bars, also with a cambered brick arch. A first-floor boarded door is on the left, lacking a lintel (likely an early alteration), and there’s an opening for a missing window on the right, also with a cambered brick arch. A chimney is on the right gable. The rear gable has a surviving iron frame for an overshot wheel, with a doorway leading to the mill behind, and a projecting stone wall that formerly supported a leat. There's also a window in the gable. Inside the mill, cogwheels remain on the ground floor, along with casings for three stones and a bolting machine. The loft is in two unequal bays, featuring an interrupted tie-beam truss without a collar and one pair of purlins. The cartshed loft was likely originally a granary, with three bays, interrupted tie-beam trusses with a collar and iron bolts, two pairs of purlins, and a plank ridge. The building forms a group with a nearby barn. Stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are present.
