Brauncewell, Horse Gin House

The gin house at Brauncewell was built in c.1800 alongside a bone mill.

A horse was harnessed to a beam which was linked through gearing to an overhead drive-shaft for the mill.

The original structure was open-sided with a thatched roof.

"This polygon building was designed to harness horse power to drive threshing machines, with four horses walking around the building to turn the machine.

It is thought this Horse Gin was used to crush bone which would have been used as fertiliser on the surrounding fields"

The building on the left (TF 166967) contains an overshot water wheel erected in c1818 to provide power for a threshing machine and other barn machinery in the farm building opposite.

Gearing from the wheel drove a shaft passing under the road.

The water was fed from an overhead leet linked to a reservoir on the valley side but this no longer remains.
