Fayrecombe Mill

Steve Grigg and Frank Collinson

Set in the lovely Teign Valley close to Teignhead Farm, this tinners mill is definitely worth a visit and has lots of very discernible features for those interested in industrial archealogy. The items identified were taken from a paper produced by Dr Tom Greeves, who has conducted some superb industrial archealogical research across the moor. This is recorded as being the earliest documented tin mill on Dartmoor, with structural remains surviving. It was recorded in 1457 as a ‘Tynsmyth’
