Rhenwyllan Mill
Period: Medieval - Modern
NGR Easting: 221445
NGR Northing: 468565
Description: Modern watermill.
A substantial watermill, built of local limestone, now converted into flats over five floors.
Documentary evidence from the early 16th century clearly points to there having been a mill on the site prior to this date.
The present mill structure was latterly used for woollen weaving.
Waterpower was provided from a dam lying to the west, now filled in, and the wheel was located on the north wall of the building; the masonry still bears scars where the wheel rubbed against the stonework.
