Grover's Mill

Goldfield Mill or Grover's Mill is a Grade II listed tower mill at Tring, Hertfordshire, England which has been converted to residential accommodation.

History

Goldfield Mill was first mentioned in Pigot's Directory of 1839 when James Grover was the miller. The mill remained in the Grover family until 1880. In 1898, a 6 hp steam engine was installed as auxiliary power. During Thomas Liddington's tenure of the mill, miller Henry Liddington was fined £10 for taking an excessive toll of flour. Goldfield Mill was working by wind until 1908, when miller James Wright left to assume the tenancy of Pitstone Windmill.

Description

Goldfield Mill is a four-storey tower mill. It had a pepperpot cap winded by a fantail. There were four Double Patent sails. The upright shaft and cast iron great spur wheel survive.
