    Scope & contentTraces the history of Cornish watermills, their machinery, operation and milling processes. A chapter describes the work of millers and millwrights. A gazetteer of watermills is divided into mills recorded before 1500AD, watermlls from 1500-1600 (recorded in the 16th century), and watermills from 1600 to 1922 when the last grist mill was built at Trelowarren.
