| Abstract: |
Gunns Mills has been assessed as the best preserved example of a 17th-century charcoal-fired blast furnace in the country, and is designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 479). The furnace was built in the early 17th-century, rebuilt in the late 17th-century and was converted into a papar mill in the late 18th-century. It had been disused for some time and was in need of some urgent repair. English Heritage proposed to erect a full protective scaffold to enable further research into the possible repairs that were required to the fabric of the building.[Au] |
