Description
There has been a mill on this site since medieval times. There are records of this one being here in the 17th century. This is the main part of the mill seen today. The left wing was added in 1827 and further alterations were made in 1841 and 1857.
The Mill was used as a store between the first and second world wars and was derelict until it was converted to residential property in the 1950s. At that time, the machinery that had become dangerous was removed, but some of the machinery remained to minimise the impact on the environment around the mill. Consequently, there are still 5 mill sluices in place - 3 of them under the buildings.
The Mill House and adjacent cottage are now being used as holiday lets.
