Granary
From High Salvington Mill Trust
Back to Mill Site
The granary, which is considered to be 18th or early 19th century, was acquired from a farm at Kingscote, East Grinstead in 1993. It was brought to the site by road. The dismantling of the granary, its transport along the A27 and the installation in the mill field are depicted in the film Moving the Granary. 21' 0" made by Dave Porter.
Restoration took place over the next year. The steddal stones with their mushroom tops and the inward folding steps prevent vermin from entering the building, where corn is stored. The three rear steddal stones are new replacements, made from the same seams of rock from which the old ones came.
The ceiling was lime-plastered by volunteers.
