Full Description

Watermill, C18, probably earlier. Substantial stone building with pantiled roof, now used and lived in as a farmhouse. The present occupants had the machinery removed in 1928. The wheel was where the kitchen is now situated, about centre of house. OS map, published 1947, shows stretch of water behind house but this is now dry. Water would be from Owlands Wood Dyke which flows by the house and is a tributary of the Ryton. Mill stones went to Smiths (Millers) of Worksop. The rest of the machinery was disposed of, presumably as scrap. Metal weighed 11.5 tons. (02/08/1962). (1)
Named 'Mill'. (2)
Cornmill erected in 1800 by Sir TW White's father. It was disused in 1887 when it is so marked on the OS map. (3)

My husband' s family lived at the Corn Mill, Corn Mill Farm from 1927 till it was sold in 2007. The undershorts water wheel and workings were removed in the 1940's by my Father-in-Law Wiliam Owen Barber. The old Mill structure was converted into a house in 1963, when Owen and my Mother-in-Law Peggy (Norah Kingston Barber). The old farm became derelict in 1972, when Ada Barber née Davenport died. It was seen not for human habitation. When my husband inherited the land in 1997, we applied for planning permission to build a new farmhouse adjacent to the old mill house. We sold the farm and new farm house in 2017.
