Notes

  • main building has chequered history (it had roof dated late 1400s) and parts were rebuilt in 1800s; was probably used as winter bee house, but walls contain 6 large "ventilation slits"; restoration in progress in 1998; 2013: Abbey Mill now a café, and recesses are in adjacent storage room
