Quidhampton Mill, Overton,
Hampshire
|
Quidhampton corn mill is an ancient building on the
River Test. It is very rare that a water wheel,
with all the gearing, mill stones, sack hoist and
ancillary equipment have lain untouched since
milling ceased in 1939. This newsletter contains
the first of two reports by Richard Waldram who made
two visits in August 2016 by kind permission of the
owners and tenants. It was a rare opportunity to
survey the building and to record its contents. This
picture is dated about 1900 and gives a better view
than can be seen today. Note the two fishermen
beside the mill pond.
