Description
Rectangular plan mill of 1 storey with attic, built from coursed squared rubble. The main elevation features 3 small square openings and 2 doorways, with a wallhead stack to the left. The rusted water wheel sits in 1 of the gable walls, whilst a forestair leads to a 2 pane sliding sash window at the other. A small section of a slated pitched roof survives at the skews, although the mill is now essentially roofed in corrugated iron sheeting. Appears on the 1st edition OS map, notated as Corn Mill .

Development History
August 2000: External inspection reveals the mill to be in a very poor condition, requiring repairs as a matter of urgency. Vegetation growth is evident from the wallhead to the mortar joints, which could undermine the integrity of the whole structure. The mill lacks the protection of an adequate roof to shed water away from the walls. Openings have been left unsecured.
February 2009: External inspection finds no change to the building.
March 2010: External inspection finds no significant change in condition since the last site visit.
13 June 2015: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously - subject to slow deterioration.
