Triangle Plantation

Euston watermill on the Black Bourn Disused watermill. Late C18/early C19. In red brick with black glazed pantiled roof: designed to look like a church, with a small crenellated tower. Pointed Gothic windows to top stage. The machinery is complete. The waterwheel drove a single pair of stones and also a reciprocating pump for raising water up to a tank in the tower, which provided the water supply for Euston Hall. A watermill was included in the estate as purchased by Lord Arlington in the 1660's: this is presumably a rebuilding on the same site.

Euston St Genevieve’s church A cement-rendered and relatively modern edifice, unusual in its appearance, the slender tower with its corner pinnacles penetrating the skyline. Sitting in the grounds of Euston Hall, home of the Dukes of Grafton, it is not easily accessible. It is locked and secured against all comers. It was built on the foundations of the original building by Henry Bennett, Earl of Arlington, in the style of the original. Not being able to gain access there is not much I can say about it, except to crib from H. Munro Cautley. ‘There is much distinguished 17th century ornamental plasterwork, wainscoting and carving. The furnishings of 1676 include a handsome pulpit ..’ Modest memorials to members of the Fitzroys including Augustus Henry, Duke of Grafton, who was Prime Minister under George III.
