CORNWORTHY SX85NW DITTISHAM MILL CREEK 7/84 Cottage, Store and Limekiln Immediately West South West of Dinah's Side

II

Lime kiln and adjoining cottage, now used as a store. Circa late Cl8 Limekiln and adjacent lime shelter which was raised and converted into a cottage in circa mid c19. Limestone rubble. Thatched roof with gabled ends and exposed rafter ends at the eaves. Projecting stone rubble stack at left hand gable end with set-offs, the top of the shaft was probably brick but this has been truncated. Plan: Originally a limekiln built into the bank behind and with a single storey lime shelter at the front, formerly with a lean-to thatched roof (depicted in a watercolour painting dated 1792 by John White Abbott 1763- 1851). In circa mid C19 the lime shelter was raised to 2 storeys and converted into a 1-room plan cottage heated from a gable end stack at the left end. In spite of the fireplace the ground floor may have remained as a store because the front arch of the kiln was not filled in and is still open to the ground floor of the 'cottage'. The first floor accommodation is approached by a flight of stone steps converted into a ramp at the right hand end. The kiln itself has been filled in at the top and is covered with garden plants like a garden rockery. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 2-window front except that the doorway is to the right. C20 2-light casements with glazing bars, slate sills and concrete lintels; the window openings on the first floor are those of the C19 conversion. Doorway to right with circa early C20 plan door and concrete lintel. At the left hand gable end a ramp, which has been converted from a flight of stone steps, up to the first floor doorway which has a circa early C20 plank divided door and concrete lintel. At the back the limekiln is built into the bank and is now filled in and covered with garden plants. Interior: Ground floor was originally one room, the left hand end is now partitioned off and has a fireplace with a Victorian cast iron grate. At the back of the ground floor the arch of the front of the limekiln is corbelled inside and the stoking hole has been blocked; the apex of the arch has been rebuilt with a concrete lintel. One large room on the first floor has no visible features and the fireplace has been blocked.

Source: A water colour painting dated 1792 by John White Abbot (1763-1851) in the possession of the owner, depicts 2 limekilns on the foreshore. This is on of the two and there is a third limekiln (qv) situated to the south west.
