Clenchers Mill, Eastnor

Location

Grid reference: SO731351
OS sheet: 150
Postcode: HR8 1RR
1½ miles S of Eastnor church, beside Clenchers Mill Lane, leading to Bromsberrow. Limited parking at ford, 100 yards away.

This 18th century timber-framed mill, part of the Eastnor Castle Estate, has lost its water supply, but retains most of its machinery, and has been repaired. The upright shaft and the fine wooden gear on the first floor are original. Two pairs of stones. The fairly large iron overshot waterwheel is of 1820 - probably the oldest one surviving in Herefordshire.
