Modern watermill and associated water management.


Historical rentbooks show that a mill has existed on this site since at least 1631.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows a corn mill at this location.


The millpond is located immediately to the northwest of the mill, and is retained by a substantial dam embankment on its east and south sides.


It is fed by a leat which is taken off the river 250m upstream. The leat was protected by a sluice at its upper end, and an overflow sluice prevented the millpond from overtopping.


The complex is now used as a retail and visitor facility.
