The Counting House, is part of the Grade 1 Temple Works site and provided office space for the mill owners, board members and Clerks. Based on the temple of Horus at Edfu, the Egyptian influence of the architecture is evident in the winged sun disc motif and hieroglyphics carved into the stone, testament to Egypt’s role in the flax industry.
