Beverley Mill, also known as Chapman Mill, is a historic grist mill located north of Interstate 66 and Virginia State Route 55 in Thoroughfare Gap near Broad Run, Virginia, straddling the county line between Prince William and Fauquier Counties. It was built about 1759, and is a five-story, four bay by three bay, rubble stone structure. The water power was provided by Broad Run which, in its {{convert|1300|ft|m|abbr=off|adj=on}} passage through the Gap, drops {{convert|87|ft|m|abbr=off}}. Exterior mill machinery included a {{convert|29|ft|m|abbr=off|adj=on}} metal waterwheel and sluice gate as well as a stone mill race. The mill continued in operation through World War II.{{cite web|url=https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/VLR_to_transfer/PDFNoms/076-0002_Beverley_Mill_1971_Final_Nomination.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Beverley Mill |author=Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission Staff|date= August 1971|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources}} and [https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/historic-registers/076-0002/ Accompanying photo] It is included in the Thoroughfare Gap Battlefield.

The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. On October 22, 1998, a fire resulting from vandalism gutted the mill, which is awaiting restoration.{{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190124230648/http://www.pwcgov.org/government/dept/planning/Pages/Beverley-Mill-aka-Chapmans-Mill.aspx|archivedate=January 24, 2019|url=http://www.pwcgov.org/government/dept/planning/Pages/Beverley-Mill-aka-Chapmans-Mill.aspx|title=Beverley Mill aka Chapman's Mill|publisher=government of Prince William County, Virginia|accessdate=June 1, 2019}}
