The mill reputedly dates from 1332, but the present mill dates from 1844, as evidenced by a plaque with the date and the intiials J E. The mill forms an L-plan with the mill house, both being built from rubblestone under slate roofs. Attached to the north end of the mill is a lower building with arched brick doveholes with slate shelves.

The mill was part of a working farm until 1971, and is now a tourist mill with a restored, 13ft 6in diameter overshot waterwheel on its west wall.
