Name:Windmill to north of Clapworthy, South Molton

Summary

Field named as Mill Hill on the 19th century South Molton Tithe Apportionment. Although the name could reference the watermill at Clapworthy, a mound in the north-east corner of the field suggests that this may be the site of a windmill.

Nb: the field described was formerly two fields, immediately north of lower blackpool farm. It is not clear which of the two fields previously had this name. It is perhaps more likely that this name refers to clapworthy mill, to the se, than the former presence of a windmill (fmg).
