Full description

WATERMILLS, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV18616.

Huntshaw mill. Owned by the barons clinton from 100 to 1958. Nothing of the original mill exists except the rear wall of the new house which stands on the site. It was a meagre, primitive building, with elm buckets fitted to an overshot wheel. An unusual millstone exists, together with a sluice gate in the garden where the leat used to flow. The original intake ran by fair oak farm. The line of the leat can be seen as it crosses the meadow by the stream. The last 150 yard section still exists alongside the road leading from the farm to the mill house. Last used in the 19c. Situation vacant advertised in bideford gazette in 1883 (watermills).
