Description
Little Parndon Watermill is a mid to late 19th century mill that utilized both water and steam power. It is constructed of whitewashed brick and features a slated roof, along with two jettied lucams for sack-hoisting. The building stands four storeys high and has six cast-iron windows. Inside, the iron turbine for water power remains, but no other original machinery is still in place.
