Description

Maxey Mill is a late 18th-century water mill, marked by a stone tablet inscribed "JM 1779". The building is constructed from coursed stone with flush stone quoins and window arches. It features a steeply pitched Collyweston stone roof with coped gable ends. The mill stands three storeys high and has three bays. Its windows are three-light casements with glazing bars set in segmental arched openings. There are doorways on the ground and first floors. The mill is equipped with a breast shot wheel and a complete set of 19th-century machinery that is currently in working order and in use.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 61% 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.
