A water wheel at Cophold Farm is known from an estate catalogue of 1920. Water was supplied via a wooden conduit supported by brick pillars which are still extant. All the other remains were destroyed. [1] The 1st and 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey maps show a pond to the west of the farm buildings that appears to have drainage channels running from it, though this is not clear.
