The only workable water-powered corn mill in Herefordshire, it dates from c.1750. The external
breast-shot waterwheel and machinery were replaced a little over a hundred years later. A remarkably
complete mill, with three pairs of stones, and all its machinery and equipment. Milling for

weir on the river Lugg.
