Full description
Unatributed Sites and Monuments Register Entry (Unattributed Sites and Monuments Register Entry). SDV263.
Farley Mill (Tithe Map no 2326). Lower Farleigh Cottages were formerly a mill. Adjacent field names "Dyers" (Tithe Map nos 2321, 2322) may suggest the possibility of a fulling mill.

Adjacent to line of preferred route of North Devon Link Road, Stage 2.
Site visit on 18th January 1983. Lower Farleigh is a large farmhouse facing east with an enclosed yard behind, looks 19th century with many large windows. No sign of any mill-like buildings. Cottages whitewashed, possibly cob, residential. Two modern pre-fab farm buildings appear to sit on a raised area of ground. A stream runs north down the adjacent valley and turns right-angles to run across the south end of the farm. It doesn't look like a leat. Another watercourse continues to the west, may be man made.
Dunsford mentions a fulling mill in Farley village in 1730.
Not affected by preferred route.
