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.
