Tewkesbury - Abbey Mill

Abbey Mill at Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire isolated by a flooded Mill Avon River. Abbey Mill is thought to have foundations dating from the 12th Century, when the River Avon was diverted through the town. The present building was built in 1793, but this part of the mill was added in the 19th century. The fictional "Abel Fletcher's Mill" in Dinah Craik's novel "John Halifax, Gentleman" is based on this mill.
