This charming rural water mill was built in the local timber and weather-boarded style with a hipped roof and dates from 1807. The machinery has been restored by the Vale of White Horse
Industrial Archaeology Group, who undertake the guided tours. Insufficient water supply prevents the newly installed water wheel from turning the machinery. The mill is owned by Oxfordshire
County Council.
