Abstract:		 Many of the timbers samples were fast-grown oak, with relatively few rings, and they did not date. Three did however date, these included the main post on which the mill rotates, which retained complete sapwood and was found to have been felled in the winter of AD 1586-7, and two jowelled posts re-used in the front extension of the present mill, made from trees most likely felled in the period AD 1543-73. The mill is thought to have escaped major rebuilding in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and therefore was considered a rare survival of an older-style mill, a carved date suggesting possible construction in AD 1689. If dendrochronology could substantiate this date, it would make the mill one of the oldest in the county. The present study suggests that part of the extant mill is at least a century older than that, reinforcing its historic importance within the region.
