one open bay with modern timber lintel (now a garage), 3 stalls with halved door
and 2 slatted windows, loose box with double doors, byre with halved door and

Smith worked the roller flour mill into the 1930s and re-opened it during World
War Two. He ran the stone mill till within a few years of his death at the age
of 98 in 1950......using to the end horse waggons of which he was particularly
proud' (Hervey Benham, Some Essex Watermills, 1976, 55). Listed for its
exceptionally complete'condition, and for Group Value with the Mill and Mill
House.
