Description

A corn mill, dating to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is situated to the north-east of The Meadows (which are not included in the listing). The mill is a two-part building, arranged in a long, narrow range set at a right angle to, and north of, the mill house. It is constructed of rubble with some brick dressings, and has a half-hipped slate roof.

The left-hand section, likely the older part, is two storeys high, featuring tall two-light small-pane casement windows on each side of plank doors at both levels. Stone V-joint quoins are visible at the ends of the ground floor. The longer section to the right is three storeys high, with four shallow six-pane lights at the first and second floors, and at ground floor level, a plank door, a two-light casement, a wide pair of plank doors, and a small nine-pane light. All openings are framed by shallow brick segmental heads, most of which were inserted in the late 20th century. A three-light casement is located at eaves level in the left gable, while the right gable has a deep-set first-floor door above a plank ground-floor door. The rear elevation has scattered openings, and in the older section to the right, a broad brick segmental arch marks the entry point for the leat (a man-made watercourse).

The interior retains the large overshot wheel at the left-hand end; it is in three sections, approximately 2.2m in diameter and 4m wide. Remnants of the supports for the stones above remain. Early rough beams are present throughout, and the floors were largely renewed in the late 19th century. The three-storey section has lost its upper floor, but the cut-off ends of floor joists remain visible in the walls.

This mill is one of several located along the Wey, and is notable for not having been converted into dwellings. It is grouped with the mill house, The Meadows (not included), and a domestic range to the east. The remains of the dry leat are still visible.
