Description
Mill House and the adjoining mill, formerly known as High Mill or Lords Mill, date from the late 18th century or early 19th century. The structure is built of limestone rubble with flush quoins and features a graduated greenslate roof topped with a stone chimney stack. The mill house is two stories high and has two bays, with the mill located to the right under a common roof and positioned at right angles to the rear. There is a lower single-bay extension at right angles to the front right and a roofless wheel-house on the right side. The house includes a four-panel door and a plank door, both set in painted stone surrounds. It also has sash windows with glazing bars, framed in painted stone surrounds. The mill features a casement window and a rear plank door, with a loft above. Although the wheel was sold for scrap in 1940, the shaft remains along with some internal machinery. The mill was used for crushing barytes during World War I in conjunction with the nearby brewery, contributing to its group value.
