Appraisal
Formerly associated with a flour mill, now demolished, to the south, this miller's house is a reminder of the wealth and prosperity which that industry once brought to this area. Its prominent siting makes it a notable building in the landscape. Though some features have been replaced, its wonderful slate hanging remains. Slate hanging was once characteristic of the county, but is sadly increasingly rare.
