This mill had two overshot waterwheels mounted on the side of the building, in tandem and about 12 ft diameter. When visited by Frank Gregory in 1936 the mill was in a dilapidated state. The building deteriorated further and was demolished after WWII. The site of the mill pond later became a Tesco car park and fuel station and the site of the mill a corner of woodland. A nearby school had a mill stone buried in a path and a pieces of a French burr stone were removed to Ifield Mill. A small tunnel outlet and stream by a railway that was said to be the outlet from the mill down stream.
