Abstract: |
The proposed development site has been found to lie within agricultural land associated with Lamplugh Mill and High Mill Gill Head as part of the manorial estate of Lamplugh Hall. Lamplugh Mill was in existence by 1699 and depicted on a map of 1770, but it is possible that it is also the site of the medieval manorial corn mill, as Lamplugh appears to have had quite a dispersed settlement pattern. It is likely, based on other Cumbrian corn mills that the mill was rebuilt in the early 19th century, and there was certainly a reorganisation in the late 19th century when a mill pond and sluice was added to the complex. Lamplugh Corn Mill seems to have gone out of use between 1899 and 1919, when the adjacent saw mill seems to have been constructed. The site visit has found surviving features relating to the land's association with Lamplugh Corn Mill, the former mill race and millpond, and the present south eastern boundary of the proposed development site, a typical Cumbrian kest, has been found to date back to at least the early 19th century. This study found that a development within the site boundary would result in a very limited impact on heritage significance in relation to the existing south eastern boundary of the site. For the former mill race and millpond, a limited impact on heritage significance is likely. This level of impact may require further archaeological work, dependent upon advice from Cumbria County Council's Historic Environment Team. Furthermore, there is a possibility of as yet unknown buried remains, particularly of medieval origin, relating to the site's location close to a deserted medieval village, and associations with the possible medieval manorial corn mill. |
