The Mill

The Mill is a water mill located at Elton River End, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with an extension and rebuilding noted by a plaque that reads 'AD 1840'. The building is constructed of coursed limestone with freestone dressings, red brick, and timber-frame weatherboarding, topped with a ridged pantiled roof and corbelled parapet gables. It stands three storeys high with attics and originally comprised four bays, which have been extended by two additional bays with a lower range to the southeast. An undershot wheel is incorporated into the later building.

On the northeast elevation, there is one blocked doorway and an entrance featuring double boarded doors, with a boarded door above on the first floor. The windows are made of cast iron with stone lintels or segmental brick arches; those on the ground and first floors have thirty panes, while the second floor has twenty panes. The lower range is partly weather-boarded and includes a panelled door, a bay window, and a hung sash window. The interior remains mostly intact, showcasing an iron and wooden waterwheel approximately 14 feet in diameter and 12 feet wide. The miller's house that was attached to the northwest was demolished in 1881.
