Clyston Mill on the Killerton estate
Heritage Open Day: Step back in time to discover how Victorian engineering harnessed the power of water in this historic mill. Clyston Mill, sited on the River Clyst in the village of Broadclyst, is part of the Killerton Estate. In 1086 a mill was recorded at Clistona in the Domesday Book. In Elizabethan times, there were water griste (corn) milles and one olde Mille House in the parish of Broadeclyst. In 1661 the Manor of Clyston included three mills. It seems likely that the present Clyston Mill was rebuilt in the first decade of the nineteenth century. In 1808 the watermill was described as having three pairs of stones, a bolting mill and a wire machine for dividing and cleaning the bran and a new built dwelling house.
