Description
Chapel Farm is probably an early 19th-century grain mill with a long rectangular plan. The internal machinery still exists, and the ground slopes down towards the east. The building is constructed of whitewashed rubble with dressings. On the long south wall, there is an off-centre iron wheel with exterior gearing, and water is brought from the west through a concreted fireclay pipe that is raised high on a solid rubble-built aqueduct. The south wall features three small square windows at the upper level. On the north wall, there is a large rectangular opening that is off-centre, a smaller opening beyond a slit vent to the right, and a door to the left below two square window openings. The roof is made of corrugated iron, and there is a slate-roofed lean-to against the west gable.
