Scope and Content
Page, John Lloyd Warden.An exploration of Dartmoor and its antiquities with some account of its borders London: Selly and Co., Limited, 1892: p. 190.Holy Street Mill and Cross.Leaving Chagford by the Throwleigh road, we shall, when near the old bridge mentioned by Leland, turn to the left past the deserted woollen factory, and again set our faces Moorwards. The road, or rather lane, is beautiful at almost every step. First we reach the approach to the old grist mill, now, it is much to be regretted, closed to the public. It lies a little off the road, close to where Teign, eddying among great boulders beneath the shadow of the woodland, join his ceaseless song with the splash of the moss-grown water-wheel. The rich brown tints of the thatched roof contrast finely with the emerald hues of the little meadow beyond, and the groups of fern and wild-flower which enrich this lovely spot.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
