Rhenwyllan Mill

Archaeology

Modern watermill.


A substantial watermill, built of local limestone, now converted into flats over five floors.


Documentary evidence from the early 16th century clearly points to there having been a mill on the site prior to this date.


The present mill structure was originally built as a cornmill, but was later used for woollen weaving.


Waterpower was provided from a dam lying to the west, now filled in, and the wheel was located on the north wall of the building; the masonry still bears scars where the wheel rubbed against the stonework.

Rhenwyllan, Port St Mary
