Monument record 6174/1 - Huscote Mill (Hulsecote Mill)

This may have been one of the three mills recorded for Chacombe at Domesday. Shown as 'Hulscote Mill' on Eyre's 1779 map. Now demolished, but earthworks of leat remain.

{1} Huscote Mill is present on Eyre and Bryant's county maps and on the unpublished OS map of 1811 as Hulsecote Mill. Whilst no standing remains of the mill are recorded, modern aerial photos suggest that this site has not been re-developed and remains as open ground.
