Abstract:		 The sawmill at West Wycombe was erected during the 1770's as one of several 'eyecatchers' in the park. Despite its ornamental appearance, with elevations of brick and flint construction, it still served as a functional building. During the 1920s it was converted into a residence and the machinery removed. It had remained in residential use ever since but during 1998 the interior was extensively modified with the removal and alteration of 20th century partitions and plasterwork. A watching brief maintained whilst this work was in progress led to the discovery of a number of blocked openings, including an arch at basement level carrying the original head race to the watermill. As part of the 1998 modifications a lift shaft was inserted into the original wheelpit and the wheelpit was therefore recorded and the dimensions of the wheel established. Sufficient information was gained from the watching brief to allow for the reconstruction of the configuration of the machinery and the evidence seemed to suggest that the building was first used as a cornmill before its conversion to a sawmill in the 19th century.
