Mill (water)

What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached five-bay two-storey corn mill, built c.1800, having lean-to addition to front (north) elevation, comprising two-bay corn mill to east end, two-bay kiln to centre, and single-bay store to west end. External water-wheel to east gable. Now disused and derelict. Remains of pitched slate roof and lean-to slate roof, both with exposed rafter ends. Coursed rubble limestone walls. Square-headed openings, with some timber battened fittings, and some remains of timber sliding sash windows. Cast-iron and timber water-wheel, remains of timber trough, and machinery to interior. Set off farm track.

This complex is of architectural interest, exhibiting the typical layout of mill, kiln and store in the one building. It is an attractive feature in the landscape, and preserves the overall form and massing of the original mill buildings. Although in poor condition, it retains notable fabric, not least its water-wheel and machinery. One of many mills in the area, this was used for grinding corn for local farmers and was an important part of the rural agricultural, industrial, and social infrastructure.
