again long slot for machinery. To north of central doorcase is large segment headed
voussoired arch for northern mill race with single light recessed and chamfered
window over and above again two, 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows
with dripmoulds, West elevation has been considerably altered but retains the
segment headed door to centre and 3-light recessed and chamfered mullion window
above. To south an inserted opening and two C17 single light openings beyond. To
north of central door a 2-light recessed and chamfered window, with similar

rebuilt and C19 hoist for logs attached to the building. Interior has been much
altered and floor has mostly collapsed,however the staggered purlin king post roof
with side stru ts survives as does the northern timber frame internal partition.
The southern waterwheel is a low breast-shot wheel approximately llft in
diameter. It is constructed of a mixture of cast iron and wood, with cast iron hub,
rim and shaft. This drove only a single pair of millstones and a sack hoist. The
pit wheel is also wooden with iron gearing. The northern wheel is also a breast-shot
wheel, it has cast iron rims with wooden floats between, and a cast iron hub. To
the north side of the wheel is a cast iron bevel wheel. As this was converted
sometime in Cl9 to a sawmill no stones survive to the north side.
