Howsham Mill

Howsham Mill is a Grade II listed[1] 18th century watermill located on the River Derwent in North Yorkshire, England.

[2] It was built in the Gothic Revival style both as a working grist mill to grind grains into flour and as an eyecatcher or folly within the formal parkscape of nearby Howsham Hall.

The mill was powered by a breastshot waterwheel connected by a gear wheel to millstones that grind the grain into flour.

[7] In 2006 Howsham Mill was featured on the BBC television programme Restoration Village presented by Griff Rhys Jones.

[8] It won the North regional heat and was featured in the live National Final on Sunday 17 September 2006.
