Description

Low Mill is a corn watermill dating from the late 18th to early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof. The mill is two storeys high, with a basement and loft. The gable front has two bays and features quoins.

The elevation facing Village Green has, on the ground floor, modern board garage doors and a board door. The first floor has two small-paned fixed-light windows flanking a glazed door, which was formerly a loading door and is set beneath a stone slab lintel. Above the lintel is a fanlight with radial glazing bars set within a semicircular arch of rubble voussoirs with a hoodmould. Above this is a wooden beam with a pulley-wheel. A fixed-light window with glazing bars and a semicircular-arched head of rubble voussoirs with hoodmould is set in the gable. Projecting through-stones are visible on the side and rear elevations.

Internally, the mill has deep timber beams. The original waterwheel is a low-breastshot type, and it drives spur-wheel gearing. Original mill equipment includes two pairs of millstones and wooden furniture, as well as a drying-kiln.
