Description
The leat [MNA141456] at Bossington runs alongside the road from north of Kitnors (115010) to the lower end of the village. The only map evidence for Bossington mill comes from the 1809-12 Holnicote Estate Survey, Manor of Bossington, where the mill is listed as Q and the tenant is given as John Willie. The mill seems to have been in the present road, with the leat on its west side. The road must have gone to the east of it, between it and 1 and 2 Bossington. The wheel would have been undershot, and a culvert carrying overflow went at right angles across to Horner Water. When the mill was pulled down the wing was built on the front of No 2 Bossington, and the road ran alongside the leat. Condition: fair. [1]
