Down the hill from the church.
Originally built as part of a grand scheme, combining corn milling with irrigation,
in the 1650s. The present building is 18th century, but most of the machinery is of iron, having been replaced
a century later. There are two overshot waterwheels, one on each side of the mill, each of which drove two
pairs of millstones. The big wooden flour dresser is of interest, as is the sack hoist in the loft.
