Holbeam Mill was one of the two remaining examples of a Hammer Mill still working order in the South West of England in 1951. The tilt hammers were sent to the Science Museum & the water wheel, made by Polybank of Newton Abbot was probably dismantled at the same time. The wooden water wheel axle was still on site in 1996. Holbeam Mill at Chercombe produced knives, fish hooks & other iron-based implements. The iron fish hooks were used in the Newfoundland fisheries. In 1996 water was still present in the leat & tail race. The mill of random stone construction had been converted to a private house. The adjoining mill cottage had windows with leaded lights.
