STOCKWELL LANE
(Back to Chapter 2 Index)

Mill House is of ancient foundation, possibly 16th century. The present building is of random rubble stonework, with a slate roof and timber casement windows. It was originally a water-mill (the wheel still exists, though no longer in working order, and the mill-pond is above), but it closed down in 1919 and is now a private residence. It has been extensively renovated and various outbuildings have been incorporated into the house.

Beyond is Mill Barn, formerly a 16th century storage barn for the mill converted into a residential property in the 1980s. It is of random rubble, with brick chimney, slate roof and timber casement windows.

On the hill above stands The Old Windmill, possibly 16th century; the circular structure is of coursed limestone, with modern red-brick crenellations and purpose-made window frames. The mill ceased to work in 1915, and all working parts have been removed. In the early 1980s a modern stone house was built alongside, with brick dressing tiled roof and casement windows.

Sulgrave Farm Bungalow is situated off the Moreton Pinkney road (unlike all the farmhouses of more ancient date, it stands in the midst of its farmland, and not in the village itself). It was built of stone in the 1960s with tiled roof and timber casements.

On the site of farm buildings on Barrow Hill a house has been partly built in red brick; at present (1992) work has ceased.
