Description

This is a late 18th-century undershot water mill located on Lode Mill Road. It has been restored in the 20th century and is currently a working water mill. The structure is timber-framed, featuring 20th-century cladding over the original weatherboarding, and has a plain tile roof. The building stands three storeys high and includes a lift with a lucam. Inside, most of the wooden mill machinery was replaced in 1868 by the firm of W Rawlings, whose name is cast on a plate attached to the cast-iron upright shaft.

Local climate

Water 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 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
