Description
Old Mill is a mill, probably built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed sandstone blocks and features a plain tiled roof with a brick gable. The building stands three storeys tall, with one window on each floor. The windows are framed with heavy square section stone surrounds and mullions. The front elevation includes a low water opening and a small round opening at ground floor level. There is a ground floor window that may have a keystone from an earlier opening above the existing lintel, along with two doorways stacked one above the other on this elevation. To the west, there is a semi-circular brick arch that leads to a former wheel chamber.
The mill originally had a breast wheel with a diameter of 14 to 15 feet, but the machinery was removed around 1960. There is also a low two-storey brick and rubble building that adjoins to the north.
Local climate
Old Mill sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 77% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 72% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
