Fremington Mill is a historic watermill in Fremington, North Yorkshire, a hamlet in England.
A corn mill on the Arkle Beck in Fremington was first recorded in 1288. The current building was built shortly before 1751, and comprised a mill, kiln and miller's house. Around 1900, the waterwheel was enclosed, but the mill closed soon afterwards, and the building was then used as a barn. The building was grade II listed in 1986. [1] [2]
The mill is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof. There are two storeys and three bays. On the ground floor are a stable door and a fixed window, and the upper floor contains a pitching door and two fixed windows. Inside, much of the mill machinery survives, including the crown wheel, gearing and hoist. [1] The breastshot waterwheel is entirely made of timber, and is about 5 metres in diameter. [2]
