Description
Fittleworth Mill is a watermill located on an island between two branches of the river Rother, situated in the garden of the Mill House, which was rebuilt in 1913. The mill is currently disused and in poor condition. It is an L-shaped building that was originally started by Thomas Stanley in 1628 and later enlarged by John Turner in 1742. The structure has three storeys and features two windows. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has a half-hipped tiled roof. The east wing includes a half-hipped gable and a pentice on its northern side.
