A 2 storeyed watermill, constructed mainly of brick, but with some dressed stone in the E and W walls. Possibly C18. The centre range of the building is roofless and derelict, and has no remaining machinery. The remainder has been converted into a private residence by the present owner, Group Captain Insoll. (1)
Watermill, disused. A building of stone, brick, timber frame, pantile roof, parts of which may be of considerable antiquity. The surviving stone work may be part of a Med structure. The mill was last used about 1943, condition had been allowed to deteriorate. The present owners have carried out careful work of restoration and the structure is now in sound condition. The mill was fed by a leat of R. Ryton. The owner believes that the mill had 2 wheels, one was in position when he bought the premises and there is space for another. The space where the wheel was has now been converted to a kitchen and the hub of the wheel moved to the 2nd position. The mill formed part of the estates of the Archbishop of York who had a palace at Scrooby in C15-C16 - there may be documentary evidence at York. (09/08/1968) (3)
