Abstract:		 The photographic recording of the mill and farmstead was keyed to plans and accompanied a written description in April 2022. All elevations were photographed as far as possible face-on and from a consistent height and perspective. Where possible, all record photographs included a scaled ranging pole. Where it was not possible to capture an entire elevation in a single photograph because of the constricted nature of the site, a series of partial elevations were recorded along with an oblique overall view of the full elevation. Subsequently, the visual record of the mill and farmstead was further enhanced by means of a digital 3D laser scanning survey of the complex carried out in April, 2022, from which an accurate plan and elevations were produced. In addition, an attempt was made to research the history of the buildings through locally available historic maps and records which could shed light on the history of the buildings. Ricknall Mill Farm, on the north-west bank of the River Skerne some 2 km south-east of Newton Aycliffe, in its present form dates to the early 19th century, but an earlier mill and house, first recorded in 17th century baptism registers, stood only 20 yards to the north. The present buildings, which conform to the suggested Georgian origins of the present complex, form an overall L-plan, the mill and house aligned north-west to south-east with another range of buildings extending east from the north end of the house. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey 6”:1 mile map of c 1858 (Illus. 04) shows some differences in outline plan from the present buildings, but this might perhaps be due to error. The alignment of the head and tail races (now infilled) shown on the earlier Ordnance Survey maps is such as to suggest that the wheel was under the northern part of the Mill, however the evidence within the building, already described, suggests that it was under the south end.
