Description and History of Site:-
Quatrefoil windows. Two storey small stone-faced building brick built. Derelict lock gates etc. - Howsham Mill was built by the owners of the nearby Howsham Hall in 1755. It is a remarkably ornate building for such a mundane purpose as grinding corn and was designed as a folly or eye-catcher. The Renewable Heritage Trust was formed in 2003 to rescue the building from ruin and give it a new lease of life as an environmental education centre generating hydro-electricity.
