Listed Building record MDO5149 - Rushton Mill, Tarrant Rushton

A water-driven corn mill thought to have been built around the middle of the nineteenth century, and in use until 1920. The two-storey mill is built of brickwork in English bond with a tiled roof, and is attached to the former mill house. In 1985 the mill was reported to have retained much of its original machinery and fittings. The record for this monument has been enhanced with support from Wessex Water.
