Buttercrambe Mill

The mill, in 2002

Buttercrambe Mill is a historic building in Buttercrambe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The former watermill has a datestone reading "1697". It has a mill race on the River Derwent and milled corn.[1] It was Grade II listed in 1953,[2] and was converted into a house in the 1980s. In 2016, it was put up for auction, with a guide price of £300,000.[3]

The mill is built of brick, with a stepped floor band, stepped eaves courses, and a pantile roof. There are two storeys and attics, and three bays. The middle bay projects under a pedimented gable, and it contains a doorway and rusticated brick quoins. The windows are casements, and all the openings have rusticated brick surrounds and keystones. In the attic is an oculus with keystones.[2][4] Inside, many of the original floor beams survive, and there is a 20th-century iron spiral staircase.[3]
