A water mill at Clapperentale Farm, Ottery St Mary. Attached to Escott Manor it was used for general farm purposes. The overshot wheel, in fair condition and housed in brick, tile and, once, thatched lean-to against a large barn, is supplied water by 1400m leat from River Tale. Although much of the ancilliary machinery has gone the working of what remains is described in some detail. It is probably this mill which was referred to as the 'new mill' in 1803.

A nineteenth century waterwheel, attached to a barn, was originally used to drive threshing machine. The main purpose of Leat 2 was to supply this mill wheel, and limited restoration of parts of the water meadow system fed by leat 2 will meet the desire to restore the water supply to the mill.
