Modern threshing mill.


It is thought that two grain mills, rented by William Hubart 'near Castletown' and recorded in the 1511 Manorial Roll, refer to the Golden Meadow site. The existing mill buildings are more modern, and a newspaper report of 1816 would seem to confirm that they had at that time been recently constructed.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping of 1868 shows the complex as a 'water mill (corn)'.


The two main mill buildings are arranged in a row, with the waterwheels arranged on adjacent gables. The more westerly of the two mills was used for threshing, and all its equipment has now been removed. Together with the other buildings on the site (with the exception of the cornmill), it has been converted and is now in use as holiday accommodation.


The mills were owned by the Moore family for c.300 years.
