Howsham Watermill SE 730 628
Howsham Mill was built around 1755 and may have been redesigned as a Gothic building by John Carr who designed the stable block at Howsham Hall.
There was a statue of Diana on the top of the mill to give the impression that it was a hunting lodge. In a photograph taken in the 1950s, shortly after the mill had ceased working, the figure of Diana is clearly seen. A foot belonging to the Diana statue was recently found nearby. There was an article published in an agricultural magazine about a man from Somerset who returned Diana's arm. It is hoped that a replica will be made.
