The only water-powered sawmill in Norfolk. Built about 1775, it is a thatched, timber-framed structure. There were two waterwheels, one driving a circular saw and the other a reciprocating saw. Now restored to working order and operated by volunteers from the Norfolk Industrial Archaeology Society. A small grist mill has now been restored and may be demonstrated occasionally.
