Description
Castor Mill is an early 19th-century water mill and miller's house that has been converted into a residence and significantly altered. The building is constructed of coursed stone rubble and features a hipped Collyweston stone roof, along with a half-hipped gabled wing to the west, creating an L-shaped plan. It stands two storeys tall with attics. The windows are all modern wood mullions with leaded panes and segmental arches. There is a semi-dormer at the eaves with a hipped roof, and a modern ashlar doorway. A modern gabled wing has been added to the north-west. The building has stone ridge stacks, and there is a stone inscribed "TN 1729" reset in the north-west wall. No machinery remains in the mill.
