in Chew Magna, Bath & North East Somerset

A former watermill on the River Chew, now (2016) disused. An investigation in 2007 revealed little of historic interest within the mill[1]. However, the large undershot waterwheel is of interest, and is the only identified surviving product of H. Hazard and Locke of Bedminster Bridge Foundry, Bristol. It bears the date 1850.
