HISTORIC BUILDING RECORD EGL0SERME FARM BUILDINGS ST ERME, CORNWALL
C Gaskell Brown
Farm buildings at Eglaserme Farm, St Erme, Truro, Cornwall (SW 84549 49839) recorded prior to their conversion to domestic use as required by Cornwall County Council Planning Consent no PA30/0917/10/R. The buildings are Listed Grade II group value. They adjoin Egloserme Farm House, a 17th - 19th century Grade II Listed building. The group consists of a two storey building, facing south, with a threshing barn on the upper floor and a cow-house below. This was probably built in the early 19th century and certainly before 1840. A single storey cow-house facing east was added at right angles to the front of the barn between 1840 and 1880. By 1907 a cart shed had been added to the east end of the barn and a lean to shed to west end. Constructed of local slate stone with granite quoins and cambered brick window heads the barn has a distinctive appearance. Inside, both cow-houses (shippons) contained some double cow stalls, metal water bowls, tethering poles (stiddles) and chains. Feeding troughs, partitions and floors with slurry channels made of concrete all date to the twentieth century use of the cow-houses which came to an end in 1992. The buildings reflect mid twentieth century small scale Cornish farming when running less than two dozen dairy cows and a bull on 53 acres could provide a modest living.

Insworke Tide Mill, Millbrook, Cornwall. Archaeological Report and Building Record

Archaeological and building recording was undertaken at Insworke Tide Mill, Millbrook, Cornwall (SX42899 52440) in 2010-11. Two date stones of 1598 and 1861 survive. Remains exist of four sluices in the 16th century Basement, three of which probably held waterwheels each driving a single pair of millstones. Documentary evidence and a precise tree ring date of 1799-1800 proved that the mill was rebuilt on top of the Basement in 1800-1801. In 1800 there were three waterwheels, one driving two pairs of French stones and grinding wheat for flour; a second for the barley mill, producing animal feed; a third wheel drove the sack hoist and the bolting mills which separated fine flour from meal. Two waterwheels are recorded in the 20th century each driving two pairs of millstones which were probably set up on hurst frames standing on the ground floor, not at first floor level. Eight discarded millstones on site date from the 18th and 19th century. Two granite centres, of Cornish type, come from composite millstones which would have used imported French burr stone for the grinding faces. An Extension added to the north end of the mill dates to 1861. Milling had stopped by 1914 and the machinery was removed in the late 1930s. The sluice openings in the outer walls were then blocked up with re-cycled 16th and 18thC dressed stones. The Basement was filled to ground floor level with brickworks clinker and floored over with concrete. In the 20th century the building was used by the Millbrook Steamboat Company and for boat repairs. The project archive is deposited in the Cornwall Record Office Accession Number 8779.
