Abstract:		 Temple Mill is a Grade II listed former corn mill, ostensibly a brick building dating to the first half of the 18th century, although there is some evidence to suggest that the structure may originally have been timber-framed. The roof structure is supported by a pair of interrupted tie-beam trusses which evolved during the second half of the 17th century and are commonly seen throughout the 18th century, within buildings where increased height was required within the roof space. The roof timbers have all been re-used within the existing structure and the evidence indicates that they were originally part of a box-framed building, although their provenance cannot be established with any certainty. The owners are in possession of a rich archive of documentary information regarding the house, which has been passed to them by the descendants of John Hall (1699-1763), a former miller who bought the mill in 1730. The rebuilding of the mill in brick is likely to have taken place after 1730, with extensions to the mill-house and the establishment of the dairy farm undertaken by the 1780s. The watermill mill ceased to operate after the Second World War and the mill race was filled in by 1970. There is very little of the mill machinery surviving: the cast-iron axle for the wheel is visible within the wheel house and its position indicates a wheel of the breast-shot type. The sluice gate and opening mechanism survive, with a pit-wheel and turning handle located within the adjacent workshop at ground floor level.
