It features a unique combination of medieval and industrial architectural styles, with a timber-framed structure, brick infill, and a distinctive saw-tooth roof.

Today, the mill stands as a testament to the region's industrial heritage, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who worked there and the innovations that shaped the modern world.
We were lucky enough to catch this open and were welcomed by all the volunteers and given a great deal of history about brass, the local area and the site itself. Kudos to all the volunteers trying to preserve a spot of history!
Super hidden gem! A troop of volunteers have restored this mill. There is a lot of information about the history of the mill and brass works back to the 1700's. The volunteers are knowledgeable and friendly.
We visted here and were given an excellent guided tour by Stella. Her knowledge was impressive, and delivered with an engaging and infectious passion. Well worth finding the time to visit. A big thank you to all of the local volunteers who make this important site of local history available for all.
