Hauxton Watermill

Hauxton Watermill is a watermill built in 1862, with a late 19th-century extension to the south. The structure is made of grey brick in English bond, with some red and yellow brick visible in the lower courses from an earlier mill that existed on the site. It features a low-pitched slate roof and has a single range layout consisting of six roof bays that span the undershot waterwheel and by-pass sluice at the southern end. The building stands three storeys high, including a handling floor.

On the first floor, there are four small recessed fixed light windows with segmental arches, two of which have central pivot openings. Above the entry doorway, there is a hoist opening, also flanked by four similar windows. The mill includes two segmental arched chases: one for the by-pass sluice and the other for the mill wheel. The late 19th-century extension to the south is similarly constructed of grey brick and has a slate roof. It also has a central doorway with a hoist opening above, flanked by two windows on each storey.

Inside, much of the original machinery remains intact, including the wooden waterwheel, underdriven grinding stones, and the great spur wheel, wallower, and upright shaft. The site is historically significant, as it is recorded in the Domesday Book.
