(Formerly Listed as:

Farmyard buildings including
watermill at Methleigh)
GV II
Watermill. Probably early C19 foundations, mostly rebuilt mid
C19. Killas and granite dressings; scantle slate roof. Small
rectangular plan with deep wheel slot on each side and further
slot at rear end; surviving 22 foot diameter overshot wheel on
the left (with timber arms missing except for fragments set in
the nave). 3 storeys with 2nd floor partly in roof space;
symmetrical 2-window front gable end. 6-pane windows; central
doorway to each floor; ledged doors the upper doorway with
corbelled sack hoist over. Doorway to 1st floor of each return
wall, approached by bridges. INTERIOR: mid C19 floors, roof
structure and later C19 complete mill machinery with 2 drive
gears, one complete with wooden cogs, and 2 sets of stones to
1st (stone) floor set in octagonal wooden cases; hoisting
pulley in attic and the sawn-off remains of 2 heavy timbers
from the earlier machinery. The water supply system at
Methleigh serving mill, farm buildings, house and gardens, is
a considerable feat of planning and engineering and is
probably the most complex of its kind in Cornwall.
