Westmill

A watermill, dating from the 17th century or earlier (reportedly rebuilt in 1580 with two wheels), ceased operation in 1926 and was converted into a house in 1961, retaining one wheel. The brickwork is generally plastered over, although a timber frame is said to survive within the walls. A distinctive curved gable, constructed of red brick, is visible on the south end. The roof is covered with steep, old red tiles. The building is a long, two-storey structure spanning the River Rib, featuring two arched openings on the east side, leading from the mill pond, and a single arched forebridge on the west. The west front has an irregular arrangement of six windows, with an arched opening in the centre, now the house entrance, previously housing the mill wheels. The southern half exhibits domestic features from the late 18th century, including three recessed sash windows on the upper floor, a panelled and half-glazed front door sheltered by a flat hood, and a canted bay window with sashes of 6/6, 12/12, and 6/6 panes. Casement windows are recessed on both floors in the northern half. A segmental moulded doorhood, located at the rear, is supported by 18th-century scrolled acanthus consoles that originally faced the front. The south gable end is notable for its irregular brickwork and raised floorbands.
