The image taken in the early 1900's
of Lyneham Mill House located next to the Old Mill.
Ordnance Survey Grid Reference SU 024 798. This building
was located next to the three storey old mill brick
house occupied by Mr James Hiskins. This small dwelling
house described as a property with two bedrooms, single
living room, pantry together with capital orchard and
a small garden adjacent to the Mill Pond used to power
the overshot watermill. Mr Hiskins rent lease terminated
on the 25th march 1909, and from that day on, the structure
has become derelict and run don.
