GV II

The description shall be amended to read:

Mill building. Early C19 (probably 1823); mid C19 addition (Building 28). Coursed limestone rubble; ashlar chimney to south gable; stone slate and concrete tile roofs. Rectangular 9-bay plan (28) with 2-bay addition (29) at centre of east side. 2 storeys with basement open to east side. East side: 9 segmental-arched openings, probably for storing wagons or implements. Later raking buttresses. Four wide segmental-arched casements to each floor above, inner two partially obscured by addition. Projecting addition incorporates segmental- arched throughway and mixed casement fenestration. South gable end: 2 attic fixed lights, with chimney above. North gable end: 2 large fixed-light windows to upper floor with combining timber lintel; left fixed-light above. Interior: Building 28 has chamfered beams and joists, stone flag floor, stone lintels over fireplaces to south gable, central dog-leg stair and mid C19 nine-bay collar truss roof with cast-iron shoes for purlins. Segmental-arched entry from first floor to Building 27 which has hand winch dated 1871 with hoist wheel above from previous arrangement. The addition of Building 27 suggests that Building 28 was used for storage only from the mid C19. (N.M. Herbert, "Minchinhampton" in V.C.H. Glos. xi. 1976 pp 184-207; J Tann;Gloucestershire Woollen Mills 1967; RCHM report, 1991)
