History
Both the Mill and Mill House are Grade II listed and believed to date from Circa 1700. “Essex Water Mills” by Helvey Benham remarks, “There was a fulling Mill here in 1408 owned by Coggeshall Abbey. The final corn Mill dated from about 1800 and adjoined the Mill house which is older. Barnes Mill was converted into a house in 1975. Little machinery remained when the conversion was undertaken. They were able to retain the splendid great spur wheel, about 11’ in diameter and the “Shut” which are stylish curved racks with pinions driven by worm and bevel.
Some photos of the property were taken in June 2023.
