Richard,
Many thanks for your comment on "taps" and "triddles". What you
describe is what I had in mind.
Marrick High Mill was the one that I was thinking of as being the best
preserved. Unless it was rebuilt in the 18th century, it is probably
very much the same layout as the one built around 1660. The present
Low Mill dates from the 1830s.
Thanks for reminding me of the Easby/Brocken Brae Mill, near
Richmond. Likewise for word of Angarrack, in Cornwall, and the
roasting house at Ilsington, Devon.
Mike
