Abstract:		 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.
