1719/0/10003 Mill at Temple Mill Farm 03-NOV-03

GV II Water Mill. 1830. Limestone rubble, with stone and red brick dressings; left hand bay in red brick; slate roofs. Exterior: three storeys, with left-hand enclosed overshot water wheel occupying two storeys. Flush stone storey bands above windows at first and second floor levels with incised keystones. Ground floor opening has a replaced vertically boarded door, with three light timber casement to left. Pair of first floor fixed-light four-pane windows, with external fly wheel above that to left. Left hand bay in red brick, formerly housing a wheel (now gone); C20 sliding door; first floor fixed-light four-pane casement. Single window at upper level within the brick gable end, comprising a two-light, small-paned, metal-framed casement. Rear elevation has an arched window opening of stone with brick reveals; to its right is the fly wheel. To the left, high in the eaves, is a narrow light. Interior: floors with trap doors, and ladder stairs at ground and first floors. Hoist mechanism survives at upper levels. Grain bins and chutes. Detached paddles and other timber and iron machinery stored in roof space. History: The date is derived from a date stone on the front of the building, which reads DS 1830. The brick extension to the left, probably of the mid C19, would have housed an enclosed wheel, thereby replacing an external one. A steam engine was subsequently installed to power the mill when water levels were low. Mill Farm was owned by the Sabin family since c1800, and was run as a mill until c1960, when it entered a period of disuse on the farm's conversion to livestock. This is one of the principal structures at this farm complex.
