Description
The building is a mill located to the north of Melton's Farmhouse, originally constructed as a tower mill in the early 19th century. It was later used for milling coprolite and is currently utilized as a storage space. The mill features a tower with ten tapering sides, which has been reduced to three storeys, topped with a thatched pyramidal roof. The walls are made of clunch and lined with brick. There are two small dormer windows and two opposing boarded doors at the ground floor. The floor frames at two levels remain intact.
