Watermill
A water-powered corn mill rebuilt about 150 years ago on an earlier site. It also served as a sawmill and powered a local gypsum mine. A 2-storey sandstone building with a granary and a kiln. One of the three waterwheels is still in place with two pairs of millstones. Owned by the National Trust.
