Description
This is a disused smock mill from the early 19th century. It features a brick base that is partly rendered, with a timber-framed and weatherboarded upper section. The mill has an octagonal tower that stands two storeys of brick and two storeys of timber framing. There is a doorway with a boarded door and a window above it consisting of six small panes. The original cap has been replaced by a hexagonal pointed corrugated iron roof. The internal machinery has been removed.
