Farmland and woodland, seen from the lane near Hutswell. Evening light. Bentley, the historian of Oakford, writing in the early 1980s, noted that a sluice gate and a millpond survived at East Tapps: the farm clearly used water power in the 19th century. In the 18th or earlier centuries a windmill seems to have existed on the estate. Fields here were known as ‘Windmill’ and ‘Outer Windmill’ in 1839.
