Description
Rash Mill is a water-powered corn mill that has been converted into a workshop and store, and it appears to be unoccupied at the time of the survey. The mill was rebuilt in the 18th century, replacing a late 16th-century structure, and has undergone alterations. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, has slobbered render, and features a stone slate roof. The building has a T-plan layout, with the main range oriented at right angles to the lane and sloping down towards the river bank. There are full-height outshuts on both sides of the upper end by the road.
The mill stands two storeys above a basement. The entrance front on the east side includes one window on the upper floor of the outshut, a low two-storey lean-to porch at the angle featuring an oak lintel, a shallow loading doorway above the porch, and an inner wagon doorway with a loading door to its right. There are two square windows at ground level and one above, along with a low inlet archway leading to the wheel in the basement. The south gable wall has four small windows at ground level and two above, as well as a gable chimney. On the west side, the outshut has a basement doorway and one window on each floor above, while the main range has one basement window and three square windows above, with the center window offset upwards. There is also an arched outlet opening from the waterwheel. The north gable wall features a square-headed opening for a small cast-iron undershot waterwheel, which has been restored with plain oak planks replacing the original buckets. The interior was not inspected.
