Description
Cavenham Mill is a watermill dating from the 19th century, with a core that likely dates back to the 17th or 18th century, and it has undergone alterations in the 20th century. The structure is timber-framed and weather-boarded, topped with a pantiled roof. It features various small-paned windows and a boarded door. The framing of the storage area between the mill-race and the attached mill-house is probably from the 17th or early 18th century, with some components reused from an earlier building. The 19th-century machinery, which drives only one pair of millstones, and the mill-race made of gault brick are intact but were not in working order at the time of the survey.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% 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.
