Description
This cornmill was built in 1775 and later converted into a house in 1983, although the original machinery was preserved. It is constructed of local red brick in an English garden wall bond, with a grey slate roof. The building has three storeys arranged under two parallel ridges. The windows have concrete lintels, added in the mid-20th century. An external hoist is present, along with loading doors on the upper two storeys and a large softwood buffer beam on the lower storey. A dovecote sits on the roof ridge, and a square kiln chimney is also visible. A stone plaque, repainted in the late 20th century, bears the inscription "George and Mary Lowe 1775" on the north wall. Concrete and timber sluices, and a modified mill-race that now feeds a turbine, are also present. The interior contains a late 19th-century arrangement of cast-iron machinery, including underdrift stones. Ancillary machinery remains, though the driving belts have been removed, along with a grain sifter dated 1883. The turbine was removed in 1983 for restoration.
