Remains, some machinery. Bowley Mill was a typical small country brick and weatherboard mill, working three pairs of stones by layshafting until at least 1934. The condition of the upper storeys led to demolition by tractor in 1961, but the ragstone base remains, in which can be seen the iron wheel shaft and pitwheel. The mill pond is very much overgrown.
