Abstract: |
The results of a heritage impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for the proposed construction of a housing development at Chelfham Mill School, Bratton Fleming, Devon. The Chelfham Mill site straddles the boundary between the parishes of Goodleigh and Bratton Fleming; the original mill site was located on the southern (Goodleigh) side of this boundary, but there appears to be little readily available information for the site. There is one possible reference to a fulling mill in 1458, but the fact it appears on the tithe map as Grubbs House rather than Grubbs Mill would imply it was reconstituted as a mill in the later 19th century. When the mill ceased to operate is also unknown. The house served as a guesthouse run by Mrs Little and Mrs Ogden in the 1960s but became an independent boarding school for boys with emotional and behavioural issues in 1967. The school closed in 2015 following allegations of abuse and a former groundsman was imprisoned in 2018. |
