This seems alittle off our hewing topic, but we want to remember that historic mills even stone mills contained an internal structure consisting of many parts of hewn timber, which was an integral part of the structure, for instance the floor(s) of which there are 3 in this mill, the roof containing purlin posts, hewn rafters, and then the husking frame which contains and supports the milling stones, each pair weighing in at about 1 ton.
Please note the door frame that was removed from the mill walls during the teardown on its original site, and now being reinstalled in the reconstructed wall.
Just for those that are interested, enough stones were destroyed during the demolition that the purchase of 2 stone houses of similar stones was necessary to complete the reconstruction.
