Description
The Old Corn Mill is a late 18th century or early 19th century windmill located on Mill Street, designed for grinding corn and grist. It is constructed of handmade red brick in English garden wall bond with a stone plinth. The mill features a tall tower with a noticeable taper. Access is provided by two stone steps leading to a boarded double door set beneath a segmental brick arch, which has later brick infill. There are later iron steps leading to another boarded door at a higher level on the right. The mill has several rectangular openings that decrease in size as they rise to the sixth storey; some of these openings are glazed while others are boarded. There is also a partly-blocked loading door at the third-floor level, supported by radial iron brackets from a former external gallery. The interior has not been seen. The mill is currently disused, with its cap, sails, and gallery missing, and the replacement roof is not visible.
