Full Description
The mill building is of two floors on a rectangular plan with a single storey wheelhouse extention at the north end. The building is predominatly of coursed rubble with a pantile roof.

There is a very unusual concentration of surviving mill buildings on this short stretch of Scopwick Beck. The reason for this is that the limestone Lincolnshire Heath has no surface water, but Scopwick lies on the spring line at a point where the water flow was particularly strong. {3}
