High Mill And Attached Mill House

High Mill and the attached Mill House are a water mill and house built in the early 19th century. The structure is made of dressed stone and features a pantile roof, a red brick stack, and a stone gable stack, along with stone coped gables. The mill building stands three stories tall, while the mill house, located to the northwest, is slightly later in construction.

On the southwest front of the mill, there is a doorway with a plank door to the left and a single two-light window to the right. Above this are two similar windows, and above again are two smaller single-light windows. The mill house to the left has a central glazed 20th-century door flanked by two-light casements, with two similar casements above.

The northeast front of the mill, built into the hillside, is only two stories high and features a central boarded doorway along with two small shuttered openings above. The mill house to the right has a central doorway, with a three-light casement to the left and a small fixed light to the right, followed by a two-light casement. Above this, there are a three-light and a two-light casement. All openings are topped with large flush stone lintels.

To the southeast, there is a single-storey addition attached to the gable front, which may have been a stable. This addition has a plank stable door and a window, with a single window on each floor above.

Inside, the mill contains a wheel house and wheel pit at the southeast end, where the wheel shaft remains, although the original wheel has been replaced by a small iron wheel. The mill features cast iron hurst gears and wooden shafting that runs through three floors. Notably, there is a reputedly unique hurst drive on the top floor, consisting of wooden pegs driven into wooden discs that form a primitive bevel gear. A mill has been recorded on this site since 1276.
