Tamworth, Virginia
Tamworth, patented 1728 (alternately spelled Tam Worth), is an historical hamlet in Cumberland County, Virginia, United States, centered along Tamworth Road. In addition to farming, a gristmill and dam on Muddy Creek comprised the principal economic activity. In addition to the mill there are several other structures of historical interest dating from the 18th and 19th centuries: the miller’s residence; a farmhouse; barns; assorted out buildings; a post office; and Tam Worth Cottage. All of the buildings are privately owned and are shown by appointment only.
==History==
The gristmill is known alternatively as Muddy Creek Mills or later as Moon’s Mill.〔(Cumberland County Comprehensive Plan )〕 The Mill was established in 1753 by Nicholas Davies and enlarged by Richard James in 1775.〔National Register of Historic Places, (Nomination Form ), 1974〕 Operations at the mill ceased in the mid 1950s. The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.〔National Register of Historic Places, (State Listings ), 2007〕
The post office building (constructed 1792 〔(Cumberland County website )〕) also functioned as a general store has been unused since the late 1980s when it was closed by the US Postal Service. The post office building features an ornate patterned slate tiled roof.
Tam Worth Cottage was originally constructed sometime between the first two phases of the mill construction (i.e. later half of the 18th century) and was moved during Mr. Moon's tenure to its current location. The cottage was substantially enlarged and renovated in 1981.
