Probably mid to late C19, incorporating remains of former probably early C19 mill or tannery. Uncoursed stone rubble with gable-ended corrugated iron roof. Plan and development: Mill aligned approximately north-west/south-east. It was constructed from the remains of a much larger building (known from old photographs) which was aligned approximately north-east/south-west and was of 4 storeys. It was probably reduced (and the alignment altered) in the later C19. South-east wall of watermill incorporates part of south-east wall of former mill (including fenestration). Two storeys and loft. Exterior: Gable end to south-east has openings (part of former large mill building) offset to left, including 2-light wooden loft casement with wooden lintel, first floor 2-light wooden window with wooden lintel, stone segmental relieving arch and internal wooden shutters with strap hinges, and ground-floor 2-leaf boarded door with strap hinges, wooden lintel and stone segmental relieving arch. Gable end to north- west approached at first-floor level (land higher to rear) has boarded door to right with brick segmental-arched head. South-east side has pair of first-floor small- paned windows with pegged frames, wooden lintels and stone segmental relieving arch. Ground-floor boarded opening to left with wooden lintel and stone segmental relieving arch. Wheel pit to south-east side of mill with sluice gate (retaining raising gear) to north-east. Remains of probably overshot waterwheel, with 2 cast-iron rings, wooden arms and cast iron wheel shaft. Formerly with wooden floats, since removed or rotted. Opening in wall above wheel, with splayed jambs. Interior: Complete set of machinery including 2 sets of stones on first floor with two-step spurwheel drive from pit wheel in ground-floor. Drive machinery enclosed in wooden housing. Secondary drive taken off pit wheel, with belt to hoist pulley.
