Buckland Abbey Mill. There is said to have been a water mill outside the north side of the west transeptal porch of the great barn. Its position is indicated by an arched opening in the wall and the millstones let into the floor of the barn. The water from the mill seems to have run along an underground channel parallel with the garden wall between the church and the barn.
