Watermill in Wickham, Hampshire, England.
Designed and constructed in 1820 using the timber from the HMS Chesapeake, previously the United States frigate USS Chesapeake which was captured by the HMS Shannon in the War of 1812.
The interior of the mill was designed around the dimensions of the deck beams of the ship.
The mill remained open until 1976 and is now an antique and gift sellers building.
It has a Grade II listing.
