The Old Mill

During the nineteenth century, it was powered by the stream draining from Park Farm, between the castle and the dovecote. This does not seem to exactly agree with Gerald's description of the system in the twelfth century: 'At the east end of the fortified promontory, between the castle, if I may call it such, and the church, a stream of water which never fails winds its way along a valley, which is strewn with sand by the strong seawinds. It runs down from a large lake, and there is a water-mill on its bank.'
