The hamlet of Marsh is located in the parish of Great and Little Kemble. The lower floor was constructed of brick, whilst the upper floor was of tarred wood, with a slate roof above. The most recent wheel, installed in 1870, was 11ft and overshot. A steam engine drive had been added at some stage. The mill had become disused by the 1930s and was in a poor state when visited by Stanley Freese. A single storey block with a corrugated roof was all that remained in 1973 to define the former corn mill.
