Description

The Mill is a building and store constructed in 1840, with later 19th-century additions. It is made of sandstone rubble with rock-faced sandstone dressings and has a slate roof. The structure has three storeys and features a main block with three parallel pitched roofs running from the northwest to the southeast. To the southwest, there is a later block with two pitched roofs in parallel, which does not extend as far southeast, along with lower additions.

The building presents five gables with copings to the northwest. Under the two left-hand gables, there are wide tall doorways with segmental arches and projecting keystones. Above each doorway are three small window openings with plain stone surrounds, and the second gable also features a loading door. The section of the building beneath the third gable appears to be original, though it has a straight joint on the front wall. This part includes a three-storey loading door, which is now partly blocked, along with two windows that have plain stone surrounds and glazing bars.

The two later gabled sections on the right have windows with plain stone surrounds and glazing bars, as well as a door on both the ground and first floors. The rear of the original portion has small openings with plain stone surrounds on each floor. The southeast wall has a central loading door on each floor, with the ground floor door lacking a plain stone surround and being roughly broken through.

Local climate

The Mill sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,280 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 46 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 24 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
