The Corn Mill On North Bank Of The River Nidd

The Corn Mill on the north bank of the River Nidd is a former water corn mill that has been converted into a house. It is dated 1809 and constructed from coursed squared limestone and gritstone, topped with a Westmorland slate roof. The building has two storeys with an attic and measures three by four bays. The north gabled front features a 20th-century door to the right of the center, flanked by square 20th-century windows with large plain lintels. Above, there are two square 20th-century windows. A projecting band connects the eaves of the side walls, creating the appearance of a large triangular pediment. Below the date plaque in the gable, there is a circular window set in a plain stone surround. The gable is adorned with shaped kneelers and coping. The left bay of the facade is obscured by a single-storey extension. At the rear, there is an entrance to the wheel-house, which contains an under-shot wheel and other 19th-century fittings. The left return has 20th-century square windows, while the right return features an external stair leading to a first-floor door. Inside, the main roof timbers and wheel-shaft are intact. The building was converted into a house around 1975.
