E&H Roberts Water Wheels

    It is documented that Roberts made Water Wheels both overshot and undershot for some fifty years but as yet I have not found a surviving wheel apart from the fine example at Milton Keynes museum that originated from Wakefield Estate nr. Potterspury, Northants.

It is also documented that there was a 10 ft dia. water wheel at Glevering Hall, Wickham Market in 1900 but as yet I have not been able to find out if any part of it survives.

   There was in the 1960's an undershot water wheel at Lillingstone house, Lillingstone Dayrell installed by Abraham Robarts but sadly nothing remains.
