BBC 2 Wales - 29th  September, 2009

Griff Rhys Jones embarks on phase two of the restoration of his farm in Pembrokeshire. Having restored the main farmhouse, Griff now turns his attention to two outbuildings: the water mill and the miller’s cottage.

Both were built at the same time as the farmhouse - around 1820 - and both will be turned into accommodation. The miller’s cottage was used in later years as a cattle shed, and is now little more than a derelict ruin. But converting the water mill into a cottage will be much more complicated and will require planning permission.

The person Griff has appointed to design the two buildings is his son George, who is training to be an architect.
