Dist:0.3km<br/>A small but interesting water mill, described by English Heritage as being designed for operation by just one man. Also described as 'part operational', on our visit the water wheel itself and the main drive shaft were made to rotate, but none of the associated machinery was operated, although a graphic description was provided by the custodian/guide.
