The backshot (pitchback) waterwheel built in 1860 by Ivor Hall of Ideford and 20' diameter by 3' 6" wide. In 1998 it was reported as turning regularly but now looks deteriorated and I doubt that it turns. The mill worked until c1940 and became a craft studio and tea rooms but is now housing and the wheel is across a gated courtyard and cannot be approached.
