Might have had three crucks originally. The building was the original millhouse. (3)
This two-storey building faces north onto Mill Yard, but the entrance is on the south side. It is divided in to two dwellings. This stone cruck house was perhaps originally a medieval open hall house, with major reconstruction in the late 17th century. The east end was probably rebuilt in the late 18th century, and a dairy was added as service accommodation. 19th century alterations included raising the eaves, and alterations to the chimneys and fireplace, and further minor alterations took place in the 20th century.
