Modern millpond.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping of 1869 shows a building served by a leat, weir and millpond. Although not annotated as such, the building served as a mill, presumably for processing the agricultural produce of the farm.


A small millpond stored waterpower for times of drought or heavy use, though the mill was otherwise supplied by a tributary watercourse which entered the stream just downstream of the dam. The grid reference relates to the centre of the former millpond for reference purposes.


The millpond is drained, but the dam still stands.
