The watermill referred to in a document of 1325 is most likely to have been this building. This is shown on the 1840 Tithe Map and the 1889 25 inch Ordnance Survey map. It has the remains of a wheelpit on its west side, which is considerably lower than present ground surface. The building is primarily of stone, with the upper part in brick. Superficial examination did not permit dating. The upper storey is entered from the existing ground level (that is from the top of the dam). Both the north and south extensions are of recent date.
