Full Description
Remains of corn mill, depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps, but now roofless and disused. A photographic standing building survey of the former mill building was undertaken in August 2011 by D. Hall in advance of its refurbishment as a house. One end of the building contains a drying kiln with a collapsed drying floor at attic level. The rest of the building shows traces of first floor and attic floor levels and contains at two millstones and the collapsed remains of their timber framing. The wheel pit lies to the South and was fed by a lade system which is now overgrown and filled in. Limited documentary research has suggested a possible 17th century origin for this mill.
