Abstract: |
Hooper's Bridge Mill is a collection of 18th and 19th century buildings, including two attached watermills of different phases, a Miller's cottage and Mill 'house' a former single dwelling divided into a pair of workers cottages. The buildings stand on the west side of a river valley, with the river and Hooper's Bridge to the east, the parish road to the north. Both watermills are served by overshot leats, with sluices, approaching from the south-west and west (rear) of the site, where the ground is higher, both have existing wheel pits. The site may have local historical importance and associative historical importance in connection with the medieval Manor of Bodwannick. The Mill-House has a more complex and involved narrative history than previously thought; first built as the main dwelling, then replaced by the Miller's Cottage, being divided into a pair of one-up-one-down cottages, then returned in the mid-20th century to single occupancy. The house has received comprehensive remodelling in the 19th and 20th century, however although it is far from being a pristine heritage asset, it has high evidential and aesthetic value and clearly displays its interesting narrative. The house is authentic and has fairly high integrity. |
