Full Description

"The little watermill near Edingley" shown on a tapestry map of 1632 on loan to the V and A Museum (shown on stream NE of village - Kirklington Mill M2802?). (2)
The fabric of the present building is mostly modern having been renovated several times. On the NE face 1880 is picked out in dark headers. The entrance from the dam is sealed off and the pond drained. (3)
Perambulation of beck to NE of village revealed no sign of a building. (4)
Brick built watermill and mill house with ancillary buildings (barn, dovecote in mill house). Waterwheel was lowered several times and the wall rebuilt. Last complete rebuilding 1880 (date bricked in wall). House still inhabited, in good condition. In use for animal food making (05/07/1964). (5)
The mill, at the W end of the village, is now used as a store, but the form of the old building can be made out. The site of the mill pool is marked by a triangular field on the N side of the road. (6)
A much altered 2 storey brick mill and house. Poor specimen. (7)
Shown on Sanderson but not on Chapman. (8) (9)
The earliest reference to the mill is 1612. The mill building is two storeys, brick and tile and had an enclosed wheel. (10)
Dovecote, at The Mill, north side of Edingley/Kirklington Road. Adjacent to former Water Mill. Dovecote above Feed and Seed shop. Composite rectangular brick structure with double pitched roof with pantiles. Nest holes of mud and stud, none remaining. Upper of two storeys. No current use. (11)
