TALATON FAIRMILE

6/180 The Mill (formerly listed as The
Old Mill)
21.8.78
GV II

Converted mill. Probably C17 origins, largely rebuilt in the late C18 - early C19,
converted to a dwelling in 1969 with some alteration. Most is late C18 - early C19
English bond brick but includes some later brick at the top and a section of
limestone including ashlar blocks at first floor level (is this earlier?); slate
roof.
Plan: the mill is built alongside the lane on a rough north-south axis. The
entrance is in the north end. A 1-room plan block projects at right angles from the
east side; presumably it was originally the wheel house. Main block is 3 storeys,
the wing is 2 storeys.
Exterior: contains an irregular arrangement of C20 casements with glazing bars,
some are obviously blocking loading hatches and the like. Roof is gable-ended.
Interior: not inspected but apparently no machinery remains.
