When one of the ceilings had to be removed we found that 18th century plaster contained a substantial amount of animal hair. Milling ceased in the 1930's, and the machinery was sold to Noyce's for scrap metal during ww2. Nothing ( accept a photograph ) remains of an enormous water wheel- one story is that an American serviceman training over here aranged for it to be shiped back to America.In the 19th century there was about 15 acres of land, but most of this has been sold off, so that there are now about 3 acres of land left.
