Description

Stotfold Mill is a mill built in the early 19th century, with additions and alterations made in the late 19th century. The earlier section features inscribed bricks that read "W.P.", "G.Bally 1825", "R.P.", and "C.H.". This part has a ground floor made of gault brick and upper floors covered with weatherboarding, while the later sections are constructed entirely of gault brick. The mill has slate roofs and consists of an original block that is three storeys high with attics, along with a later four-storey block to the north.

The main block has sash windows with glazing bars set in moulded surrounds, arranged asymmetrically. There are two plank doors each on the ground and first floors. A sack hoist projects from the attic to the right of the centre. The mill is said to retain its overshot wheel and machinery. At the rear, there is a late 19th-century boilerhouse featuring a tall square-section chimney with a diamond pattern in red brick. The left-hand block has a three-window range, with all sash windows under red brick cambered heads.

Local climate

Stotfold Mill sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
