Rash Mill and chapel A grade II listed 18th century water-powered corn mill (left) with at right a Methodist chapel. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4500266">SD6589 : Rash Bridge</a> for a closer view of the mill.   The chapel was closed, and from the amount of cobweb across the door I expect it had not been opened since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic some 17 months earlier.
