Description
Perry's Cider Mill is a barn that has been partly converted into a cider mill and partly serves as a museum. It has origins dating back to the 16th century and is constructed from ham stone rubble with a thatched roof that is hipped at the west end and gabled at the east. The roadside elevation features a three-light timber casement window and a pair of full-height doors, which are flanked by later raked buttresses. There is an extension on the east gable with a hipped roof and a small door located under the eaves. At the west end, there is another building with a corrugated asbestos cement roof, and a lean-to structure is attached to the rear.
Inside, the main roof consists of three bays supported by double collar trusses that are smoke blackened. The roof is asymmetrical, with three rows of purlins on the north slope and two on the south. The east end of the building appears to contain remnants of a post and frame construction. Along part of the north side, there are fragments of timber framing, including an early jointed cruck, which may have originally been part of the external wall. The original purpose of the building is uncertain, but the heavy smoke blackening suggests it may have been used as a smithy. The museum showcases cider-making and other farm implements.
