The Mill house (J) forms an extension to the pottery shop (I) to the north and was built between the time of the 1843 Tithe Map and the Ordnance Survey map of 1889. Rubble stone with slate roof. It abuts and wraps around the lean-to containing the waterhweel on the east end of the barn (L). The driveshaft from the waterwheel remains, resting in bearings in west wall, together with two cast iron pulleys of different diameters. The smaller of the two may have driven machinery on the ground floor but the larger wheel took a belt drive to the upper floor. There is a slot cut in the ceiling joist to allow passage of the belt. See report for full details.
