Blowing mill at Will, Peter Tavy. The site of the blowing house is not known and the remains consist of a mould-stone only. It would hold 96 kilograms of tin. The sample mould would hold about 1.25 kilograms of tin. The mould-stone was found on the roadside waste at Will, near Willsworthy, by the road to Tavy Cleave from Horndon.
