1 gen 1532 anni - bark mill

Descrizione:

The tannery at Fountains Abbey was an important concern and the process of chopping the bark, which was probably done by hand in most cases, is likely to have been carried out there by a water-powered mill. It is referred to in the lease of 1532 as <i>one barke mylne</i>, one of several <i>howses of office</i> (YRS140/242) and again in the Dissolution documents a few years later as <i>unum Molendinum vocat. le Barke mylle</i> (SS42/386).
