The Square, post 1856 Fine group comprising: mill, round-ended by 1890, with lade and part of machinery for overshot wheel still in situ (being converted to a house); slit-vented barn at right angles. Cartshed/granary with architectural detail of the same vintage as the later work at the big house, designed by Jemima Blackburn with references to Philip Webb's work at nearby Arisaig House. Square Cottage, c.1890, mill-manager's house built of shuttered concrete to replace a thatched hovel. West Lodge, 1890s to Jemima Blackburn's design, with eyebrow dormers and curving jerkin-head roof continuing the Arts & Crafts theme of The Square.
