Now a modern house called Old Saw Mill. The water-powered saw mill that formerly stood on this site used to provide electricity for a few houses in the village, as well as several public lights. The waterwheel is now at the Highwayman Inn at Sourton. The mill was demolished in the 1960s (citing WDBC and R.Cann).
