Appraisal
This building is a reminder of the industrial heritage of the area and stands at or near the site of a pre-1700 mill. Its size and scale make it an imposing feature in the surrounding countryside. The relatively small and regular windows are typical of mill buildings. The former manager's house and gate lodge contribute to the setting of the building.
