Description
The Mill is a tower mill built in 1833, constructed of red brick that has been tarred. It features a tapering tower with four storeys and a corbelled eaves band. The ground floor has a doorway accessed by three steps, along with two fixed glazing bar lights. The first floor has a similar window, while the second and third floors have single planked openings. All openings are topped with segmental brick heads. The interior has not been inspected, and there are no remaining machinery, only three stones. The mill was built to replace a post mill and operated until around 1936 when the sails were removed.
Local climate
The Mill sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 83% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 68% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
