Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was instructed by K and R Services (the Agents) on behalf of Kate Mabley (the Client) to undertake detailed building recording and monitoring at Brynn Mill, Roche, Cornwall, with specific reference to the remaining elements of the historic mill. The Mill proved to be a complex multi-phase building. Recording work determined the north (wheelpit) gable wall contained as many as eight phases of build, presumably reflecting the evolution of the mill from a predominantly timber structure to a stone one, as well as the evolution of milling technology itself. The later phases can be dated to the second half of the 19th century; while the older elements may all be 18th century in date, it is possible they are earlier. Perversely, the importance of the building - despite its ruinous state - lies in its humble origins: seemingly there was neither the money nor the imperative to completely rebuild the mill, and thus a record of its potted history survives in the standing fabric. |
