Building record 1306 - Waulkmill Farm

The present Waulkmill Farm is a stone house and attached farm building of eighteenth or nineteenth century appearance standing alongside the River Dean. Immediately upstream is a substantial early nineteenth century weir (a listed building) built to run Ingersley Vale Mill (CHER 2612/1/2)(1). However, this farm may occupy the site and incorporate parts of a seventeenth century fulling mill shown on an early seventeenth map in the Public Record Office as Raph Thorly's Walke Mill (2).
