II
Former mill, now disused and ground floor converted to agricultural use. Re-built 1848 (date inscribed on keystone over first floor entrance on west side), presumably on the site of an earlier mill. Roughly coursed sandstone blocks, slate Mansard roof with flat top. Tower, square on plan, with lower 2-storeyed gabled projection to south and later purple brick lean-to above stream to east. 3 storeys with loft lit by half-dormers (gabled on south and east sides); chamfered mullion windows on north, 2 with 2 lights on first floor and one with 3 lights to ground; opening for chute beneath right-hand first floor mullion; entrance under wide segmental arch on west with access to first floor above; ashlar floor band all round beneath loft. Interior: no machinery survives except wheel for hoist in loft; heavy beams to ground and first floor ceilings supported on plain stone corbels. Immediately to the north of the brick lean-to is a small twin-arched bridge, part brick/part stone. The late C19 millhouse, latterly known as Rose Cottage, which abuts the mill on the west, is not of special interest, and is not included. The mill is in poor state of repair due to neglect at the time of re-survey (1984).
