SIX PICTURES: Ifield Steam Mill

MUCH MORE INFORMATION AND EXTRA PHOTOS AT 

A substantial brick building circa 1835, with weatherboarding of the upper floors and decorative barge board at the gable end.
This has historic value because it once contained an early Beam Steam Engine. A separate engine house and some alterations were made in 1860.

The building is currently under conversion and windows have been blocked up with bricks at ground floor level.

NINE PICTURES: Ifield Barn Theatre

A former barn and stables now converted into a theatre. The original local list description states that the barn dates from the 17th century. The brickwork of the single story stables suggests that this dates from at least the 18th century. The entrance foyer that links the two buildings is a post war extension.

The barn is adjacent to an historic village pond
