The corn mill was built in the late 18th century on the Bedale Beck, powered by an undershot waterwheel.[1] In the mid 19th century, a three-storey extension was added.[2] The last miller converted the building to produce electric power.[3] However, all the original machinery survives, along with two millstones.[2]
In 1981, the building was Grade II* listed,[2] and it was sold to David and Carol Clark, who gradually restored it, with the intention of opening it as a working museum. In 2001, they proposed to fund the remainder of the restoration by building housing on neighbouring land, but this was rejected by a planning inspector.[4] In 2010, the mill reopened as a community bakery.[5]
The three-storey brick building has stone quoins. The ground floor is slightly below ground level. There are many original sash windows, and a boarded stable door.[2]
