Kepwick Mill
Kepwick Mill is a historic building in Kepwick, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The mill was Grade II listed in 1990.[1]
The watermill lies on Sorrow Beck,[2] probably on the same site as the manorial mill recorded in 1379.[3] The current building dates from the late 18th century, with a two-storey extension to the south in 1882.[1] It was used to grind corn for many years,[2] but has more recently been converted into offices.[4]
The mill is built of stone, and has a slate roof with stone coping and kneelers. At the south end are two storeys, beyond which is a gabled cross wing with two storeys and an attic, and at the northeast is a pair of stepped buttresses. Most of the windows are horizontally-sliding sashes. On the south front is a diamond-shaped plaque inscribed "E.W. 1882". There is a large iron and wood waterwheel on the west front, and the corn grinding machinery survives in what is now the reception area.[1][4]
