A three storey brick water mill with tiled roof built in 1803 and adjoining barn (now converted into houses).  The mill still contains a working iron Poncelet style waterwheel which drives an unusual horizontal timber mainshaft designed to primarily drive barn machinery.  Two pairs of Millstone Grit stones remain and the mostly wooden machinery for their operation is intact although not used.

 

Hockley Mill is off the B3335 at its junction with Church Lane Twyford, 1km south of the B3335 M3 junction, and 1km north of Twyford.

Open on National Mills Weekend and National Heritage Weekend and by request.  Contact John Silman on 02380 254117
