Full Description

A red-brick detached bake-house or brew-house to the rear of Mill House, Dedham, is among the most sophisticated and best preserved examples of its kind in the county, surviving complete with bread oven, copper, sink, pump and ventilation shutters. A partly demolished brick structure in one corner is a slightly later insertion that appears to have supported a missing brewing vessel. The tithe map of 1838 shows an earlier bake-house with a markedly different alignment on much the same site, but the present structure dates from the mid-19th century. <1>

Within the curtilage of Grade II Listed Building, Mill House, NHLE no. 1273724
