An 18th century building on an ancient site, formerly fed by a long leat from the river Arrow. Most of the main internal iron machinery survives, having been replaced in the mid 19th century. Part of the timber framing on the ground floor is much older. The fixed, lower millstones of the 4 pairs are still in place. There were once two overshot wheels in line, but these and the ancillary machines have gone. Opening Times
