Rievaulx Mill And Cartshed

Rievaulx Mill and Cartshed is a watermill and cartshed built in the late 18th century, with 19th-century additions. It features sandstone ashlar, limestone ashlar, and limestone rubble, topped with a pantile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the cartshed projecting forward on the left side. The mill is three storeys high, with the second floor being an addition, and there is a later one-storey extension to the left.

The main section of the mill includes a pitching door and a window on the first floor. To the left, there is a round-headed board door beneath a stone arch, along with three uneven window openings—two slatted and one glazed—under herringbone-tooled stone lintels. Notably, there is a row of 14th-century corbels from Rievaulx Abbey located between the ground and first floors. On the first floor, there is a board pitching door and a slatted casement, while the second floor features two 2-light Yorkshire sash windows. The extension to the left has two board doors, an unglazed circular window in a two-part stone frame, and a section of a 14th-century frieze from Rievaulx Abbey on the far left.

The cartshed is a single storey with two bays, divided by a massive timber post, and the mill has gable coping. Inside, there is a large waterwheel located at the right end of the mill.
