Description
The Watermill is a disused watermill dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a black glazed pantiled roof, designed to resemble a church, complete with a small crenellated tower. The upper stage has pointed Gothic windows. The machinery inside is intact, with the waterwheel powering a single pair of stones and a reciprocating pump that raised water to a tank in the tower, which supplied water to Euston Hall. A watermill was part of the estate when Lord Arlington purchased it in the 1660s, suggesting that this structure is a rebuilding on the same site.
Local climate
Watermill sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 62% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
