Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by the Northumberland Estates to undertake historic building recording at Guyzance Mill, Guyzance. The recording project was requested by Northumberland County Council to provide information on the structural history of the mill prior to alteration. This project included annotated elevations, phased floor plan, a photographic survey and written description of the building internally and externally. Limited desk-based research was also undertaken. Documentary research indicates that the land which is occupied by Guyzance Mill may have been the site of a water powered corn mill since the 16th century. The current mill is a 3-storey roofed building in reasonable condition and appears to be a fairly typical example of an improved rural corn mill of the mid to late 18th century. It has a low breast-shot water wheel at ground floor served by a race running from a weir in the River Coquet. The first floor housed the grinding stones and access to an external corn-drying kiln whilst the attic floor would have been for storage of grain and flour. |
