This Grade II Listed mill is now a house conversion. It was a pond fed overshot mill. The mill was stripped of machinery when the valley down stream of the mill was to be made into a reservoir. Some of the mill machinery was moved to Ifield Mill. The base of the mill was filled in and the top half converted.
