SUMMARY
Site Name: Bathampton Weir, Bathampton Mill Location: Bathampton, Bath and North East Somerset NGR: ST 77426695 Type: Building Recording Date: 24 March-21 April 2009 Planning Reference: 08/03432/FUL Listed Building Consent: 08/03444/LBA Location of Archive: To be deposited with Bath Record Office Accession Number: 0793
A programme of building recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology (CA) at Bathampton Weir prior to and during works to repair the dam and head race of the weir, which had been badly damaged by winter floods over several seasons. This work was undertaken to fulfil a condition attached to Listed Building Consent for repair work to the building. A desk-based assessment (DBA) by CA established that the weir in its present form was an integral part of the mill as rebuilt in 1818, but it could not be ascertained whether any of the basic weir structure further to midstream was older.
The work was intended to provide an archaeological record in advance of the necessary repair work. In addition, a watching brief was kept to observe and archaeologically significant features that might be revealed during the repairs. The DBA had indicated that there had probably been some changes to the dam in the 19th century. Evidence of structural alterations was seen in the recognition of a blocked sluice at the south end of the dam, but actual physical evidence of changes outside of this were not recognized. Evidence of the later 19th-century rebuilding of the mill was seen in the riverside arch at the south end of the dam.
A detailed plan of the dam was made at 1:50 and 1:20 scale plans were made of the sluice structures. All accessible elevations were drawn at 1:20 (in one case 1:50). Elevations not affected by the current works, essentially those of the surviving wheel pit/mill structure were recorded by means of photographic elevations. Other more general record photographs were also taken.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 In May 2008 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out a drawn and photographic record and building analysis within Level 3 of the English Heritage specification for building recording (English Heritage 2006) for JPS Partnership LLP, on behalf of Mitchells and Butlers Retail Limited, at Bathampton Weir, an early 19th-century weir, dam and headrace for the former Bathampton Mill, now a public house (centred on NGR: ST 7742 6695; Fig. 1). A watching brief followed the site recording work during the repair programme, and the results of that watching brief are included herein.
1.2 Listed building consent (08/03444/LBA) and planning consent (08/03432/FUL) has been granted for the repair works on the Weir by Bath and North East Somerset Council (B&NES). This work was undertaken to fulfil condition 2 attached to the planning consent for the works, which required a programme of archaeological work to record those parts of the historic buildings or structures which were to be demolished, disturbed or concealed by the development.
1.3 The archaeological fieldwork was carried out and the report produced after discussion with Richard Sermon, Archaeological Officer, Bath and North East Somerset Council and in accordance with a subsequent detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2008b), and approved by Mr Sermon. The fieldwork also followed the Standard and Guidance for the archaeological investigation and recording of standing buildings or structures (Institute for Archaeologists (IfA) 2008) and Understanding Historic Buildings: a guide to good recording practice (English Heritage 2006). The watching brief followed the Standard and Guidance for an archaeological watching brief (IfA 2008).
The site
1.4 The site lies on the valley floor of the Bristol Avon, where it flows through the gap in the southern Cotswolds, 2.5miles east of the City of Bath. The river forms the boundary between the parishes of Bathampton and Batheaston. The area is hilly with the oolite-capped hills rising to 180m north and south of the river. The landscape is pastoral in the immediate vicinity, and the soils here are alluvial over

lias clay bedrock (BGS 1965 and a detailed study in an adjacent field in Wessex Archaeology 2003).
Background
1.5 The weir is almost certainly of medieval origin, two mills being noted in Domesday in Batheaston, on the parish boundary of which with Bathampton the weir lies. The mill is close to the manor house of Bathampton and was formerly in the ownership of the lord of the manor. It was rebuilt in its present form in 1818 as part of the rebuilding of the mill in that year. The mill was rebuilt again in the later 19th century but ceased operations in 1894 or very soon after. The mill was demolished by 1903 (CA 2008). The weir and dam remained in place and have undergone little alteration since then, but the dam has become unsafe due to the constant battering it receives from the river in spate.
Methodology
1.6 The record of the historic buildings was carried out at Level 3, as described in Understanding Historic Buildings (English Heritage 2006). The survey comprised three elements; measured survey of plan and elevations, photographic survey, carried out prior to the repair works, and recording observations during the works. Fieldwork was carried out on several occasions from 24th of March to the 1st of April 2009.
1.7 The site survey and plan was carried out following the methodology in the WSI. The basic dimensional survey was then “flattened” and a 2D plan detailed by hand from taped measurements on site and from scaled photographs. The two sluices were planned individually by hand at a larger scale. Elevational records were created using rectified photography where possible (two elevations), but difficulties of access and visibility meant that most of the elevations were hand-measured and tied into the survey from known points.
1.8 The mill structure was included in the 3D survey, but detailed records were only made of the river frontage as this was the only part affected by the repair works. The other photographic elevations from this part of the structure reproduced in this report
7 Bathampton Weir, Bath and North East Somerset; Building Recording and Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology
are usefully informative but are not rectified. The southern side was completely inaccessible and no records could be made.
1.9 The structures were photographed in 35mm black and white film and in digital format. These films and copies of the digital images on CD are in the site archive, as are the associated lists and indexes. No further documentary or historical research was carried out as part of the recording exercise, as this was adequately covered in the DBA.
1.10 The weir proper is that part in the middle of the river over which the river usually flows. That was not part of this survey. The main structure that acts as a dam and divides the head race from the river is referred to here as the dam. It has sluices and spillways in it. The presumed wheel pit is south of the head race and attached to the south end of the dam. It sat under the mill as built and rebuilt in the 19th century. The tail race ran south from it via a now blocked tunnel to rejoin the river some 100 or more metres downstream. The tail race is still traceable south of the landing stage as a dry ditch.
1.11 The site archive will be deposited with Bath Record Office, and contains detailed plans and elevations and the 3D survey data, only a subset of which could be presented in this report.
2. DESCRIPTION
The Mill
2.1 What remains of the mill building is an L-shaped structure built in rough rangework internally and slightly better finished externally, all set in lime mortar (Figs 1, 2, 5, 9 and 10). The main part of the mill is represented by a barrel-vaulted substructure allowing communication from the wheel pit to the river (Figs 5 and 9). The vault is elliptical and belongs to the 1818 rebuild, as does the wheel pit east of it. This structure only survives up the base of the ground floor of the mill, although a short stub of north wall still stands a few feet higher (Fig. 11). The short leg of the L is the narrowing tunnel or chute that directed the water from the head race on to the wheel. It is well built of carefully-shaped ashlar (Elevation 2, Figs 5 and 12). In fact, its close similarity to the inserted arch on the river front of the mill suggests that it
8 Bathampton Weir, Bath and North East Somerset; Building Recording and Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology
was constructed at the same time, a supposition supported by its seeming absence from the view from about 1860 (CA 2008a, Fig. 8). The west or river face was altered when the mill was rebuilt again later in the century and the flat-lintelled opening at the front of the vault was replaced by the present segmental arch. The old and new sections, now somewhat obscured by the present repair, are evident in Elevation 1 (Fig. 5). The concrete floor that covers the gap between the vault and the new arch was poured on shuttering that was held up on iron bed ends and possible cast iron balcony railings. These are still in situ and probably are original to the later rebuild.
2.2 The sides of the tunnel are lined with black engineering brick which is used elsewhere in the structure in later repairs. This replaced ashlar and rangework as some of the latter still fragmentarily survives. It may date from the latest phases of use or post-mill repair, as it also occurs in repairs in the dam, including in the blocking of the southern sluice which seems to have taken place after 1894 (judging from CA 2008a, Fig. 15, which shows this sluice unblocked). Across the middle of the tunnel below the lowest normal water level was a baulk of timber with tenons in the upper surface at each end, presumably for some structure within the tunnel. It was 7” x 4” in section (178mm x 10mm) and stretched across the full width of the tunnel. It appeared to be set into a stone rubble-paved surface forming the base of the water channel (Fig. 20). At the east end of the tunnel a large vertical slot was visible in the side walls on each side, rising from below the water level (Elevation 12, Fig. 9). The most likely explanation is that they were for the temporary emplacement of baulks to provide a temporary dam across the tunnel. The northern slot is shaped in such a way as to allow the setting and removal of the timbers. Figures 14 and 15 in the DBA (CA 2008a) can be interpreted as showing water flowing out of the tunnel into the river at about the level that a temporary dam in these slots would allow, after the second rebuild.
2.3 The wheel pit has not been studied in detail for this report and it is still much encumbered with ivy, but a photographic record is included (Elevations 11-14, Figs 9 and 10). What appear to be placements for large timber beams running against the east and west sides can be seen, but the arrangements are not clear. An important issue still unresolved is the height of the axle of the wheel. There is no room for it to have been an overshot wheel as its base would be well below river level. The position of the arched chute from the headrace suggests a breastshot wheel, which is most unlikely at this date. The increase in speed of the water by the narrowing of
9 Bathampton Weir, Bath and North East Somerset; Building Recording and Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology
the chute (Fig. 13) might allow the wheel to have been in effect undershot and hung quite high, thus to some extent overcoming the inherent inefficiencies in this style of wheel, but there is no direct evidence for this. What is clear is that the high pressure water (or the detritus it carries) through this chute has damaged the jambs of the opening over the years. The water was generally led to the tail race via the small southern tunnel (Figs 3, 9 and 13). This leads to a question as to the exact function of the main arch and tunnel.
The Dam 2.4 The dam is built of mortared rubble, faced in large blocks of Bath stone which could have been brought to site from the Combe Down mines down the Claverton inclined plane and along the Kennet and Avon canal to within a few hundred yards of the site. Even this last overland section was gently downhill.
2.5 The dam is 5m broad and 26m long. At its centre is a sluice with three arched openings, another very similar at the southern end (but now much altered) and, at the north, a steep spillway surfaced with small squared stones (Fig. 3). Another spillway, until recently surfaced in concrete and much less steep, exists between the northern spillway and the central sluice (Figs 3, 15 and 16). It appears to be shown in use on the edge of a drawing from the 1860s, but this also shows the mass of masonry south of the central sluice as a similar spillway so may not be too reliable (CA 2008a, Fig. 8). A postcard of 1894 (CA 2008a, Fig. 15) shows neither, but does show the steep northern spill way. It may be that the northern spill way is late, and the use of small stones and the different, more regular masonry in the northern flank wall of the spillway (Fig. 16) may argue for a late date. However, if the putative southern spillway did exist, there is no sign of it having been rebuilt and it currently only has a drop of about 0.25m from east to west.
2.6 The central sluice is largely intact in its stonework, although the working mechanism has almost completely disappeared (Elevation 9, Fig. 8 and Fig. 18). It is now only represented by channels and rebates in the stone and the threaded studs and plain bars embedded in the stone work above the openings (Fig. 18). It is clear, however, that the sluice gates rose and fell in the slots on the east side controlled by gear in the head of the sluice. It is most likely that the gates were of the rising stem type where the gate is raised by engaging a gear wheel in a rack in the stem of the gate. Only the bolts and bars which held the frame for the rising stems and raising gear still survive, although the frame itself (or one very similar) is still in place on the
10 Bathampton Weir, Bath and North East Somerset; Building Recording and Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology
identical stone sluice on the northern side of the weir, at Batheaston Mill, and one pinion still in place over the stem slot makes it clear this was the system there (Fig. 22). The rough slots in the east face above the arches presumably held the iron stem guides, as they show no sign of any wear from direct abrasion and support the rising stem hypothesis. Rising stems seem to be shown in the 1894 photograph (CA 2008a, Fig. 15).
2.7 The southern sluice is shown in position in 1894 so must have been blocked after the mill went out of use, probably in that year. However, its outlet is shown blocked by baulks of timber, the slots for which are still visible (Fig. 4 and Elevations 3-5, Fig. 6). The decommissioning of the sluice involved the removal of the arches, and their replacement with plain stone blocks, but the semicircular piers, quadrant jambs and upper stone work (with metal work in it) survived, showing that the design was very similar, probably identical, to the central sluice and so almost certainly of the same date. The detail of the sluice construction has been obscured by the growth of a large tree (removed in the current work), which has also moved blocks out of position. However, a baulk of timber on the north end (displaced by the tree root) seems to be part of a wooden structure on the sluice, as it has a long bolt with washers and the nut still in place, passing through it. A vertical iron spigot in the stone below this beam seemed to pass through it. It has an 11-toothed pinion gear still in place on it. How this functioned is not clear, but is obviously a part of the sluice mechanism.
2.8 The blocking of the sluice has repair work in black engineering brick, which appears to be secondary to the blocking (Fig. 6). Similar repairs are evident in the flanking walls of the central sluice (Fig. 7). These patches are thought to be 20th century repairs carried out when the mill was no longer in use, but the dam and weir had to be maintained.
2.9 The northern end of the dam may have been partly rebuilt in the later 19th century as indicated above (para 2.5), but was further repaired, again most probably in the 20th century with a new facing of concrete bagwork on the western end of the northern block (Fig. 3).
3. CONCLUSION 3.1 The work has provided the first detailed record of the dam and mill structure and indicates that the structure, though relatively recent, dating in effect from 1818, had
11 Bathampton Weir, Bath and North East Somerset; Building Recording and Watching Brief © Cotswold Archaeology
undergone several alterations and reconstructions in the following 80 or so years. That the mill was reconstructed in the 1870s or so had been established in the DBA (CA 2008a), but it is now clear that changes, some quite major, can be seen in the fabric of the mill and the dam. The records of these changes are valuable in their own right, but also because the opportunity to record and analyse such structures is relatively rare. They reflect the rapid changes in milling technology and in the industry in the 19th century and the almost total demise of the traditional riverside industry in the last decades of the 19th century.
