Dist:0.3km<br/>In 1808 Calvinistic Methodists built this Zion chapel on the east side of the Street in Lea. In 1851, morning service on Census Sunday was attended by 133 people and evening service by 140. The chapel was rebuilt in stone in 1861. It was used by Congregationalists between 1885 and 1939, and by Baptists at present. The inscription on the gable reads: "Zion Chapell [sic] 1808 Rebuilt [illegible]". http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=116148

Dist:0.5km<br/>In 1421 Crabwell Mill was part of Lea manor. Crab Mill, presumably on the same site, was built in the early 17th century. In 1848, the miller William Baker apparently had a flourishing trade, and in 1895 the mill was driven by both steam and water, but between 1927 and 1939 it went out of use. It is now private dwellings.http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=116148

Dist:0.6km<br/>In 1802, Southfield Farm was a compact holding south of Milbourne, worked from a farmstead recently built on a new site near the Milbourne/Lea parish boundary. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=116149#s4 Still a working farm, it now also offers B & B facilities and a caravan site, with coarse fishing available at Woodbridge Brook nearby. Although part of Milbourne parish, and ten minutes' walk from Malmesbury across the fields, road access to Southfield Farm is via Crabmill Lane, Lea.
