Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
During the past twenty years, Richard Gilbert, Patricia Stevens and the writer have been associated with the examination of a number of mill sites in and around Eastbourne, and this paper records nine such sites (Fig. 1). In 1961, three mill sites at Friston were investigated, two of which were located on the Exceat Road and include an early post-medieval mill (site 1) and its eighteenth century replacement (site 2). The third, a typical Sussex postmill, replaced the second mill in the nineteenth century on land opposite Friston church. It collapsed in 1926 and the site was excavated in advance of redevelopment (site 3). Later, in 1966, work began on the mills of Pashley Down, Eastbourne, where there was the site of a seventeenth century post mill (site 4) and an associated bolting house, later converted to a horizontal mill (site 5), this latter being one of three local examples of the five known horizontal cornmills in En81and. When Patricia Stevens excavated an Anglo-Saxon cemetery on Ocklynge Hill, Eastbourne, in 1970, two cruciform trenches of medieval postmill steads (sites 6 and 7) were uncovered, and later an associated medieval habitation area (site 8) was excavated at 85 Willingdon Road, Eastbourne. Also on the Anglo-Saxon cemetery site was what is believed to be the site of yet another horizontal windmill (site 9). This latter was the third horizontal windmill of its type to be built locally by Thomas Mortimer, whose second attempt stood on the coast (site 10), near the pier. Mortimer was a much respected local worthy of some substance whose inventiveness, as we shall see, is demonstrated in his mills. The mill sites are discussed in the order in which they were examined, and cross-references are frequently made between the sites. | |||||||||||||||||||
