GV II*
Watermill and millhouse, now house. Late C17/early C18, altered c.1738 by
William Kent. Coursed squared marlstone with wooden lintels; Stonesfield-slate
roof with stone and brick stacks. 3-unit plan plus mill in a single range, with
a short added wing in Gothick style. 2 storeys. 4-window front of main range has
the entrance in bay 2 with flanking 3-light casements, and at first floor has
casements of 2, 2, 3 and 2 lights; bay 4 has a second inserted entrance and a
2-light casement adjoining the projecting wing. Range extends slightly beyond
the wing with a further tall opening, now a window. Stepped gable of wing has
crocketed corner pinnacles plus 2 intermediate re-set pinnacles, and contains a
quatrefoil window above a tall ogee-headed window below which is a rebuilt stone
stair; rubble flying buttresses flanking the gable wall are now topped by large
rubble pinnacles, but originally carried the 2 crocketed pinnacles re-set on the
gable. Roof of main range has a brick stack to the left gable, plus a large
central stone stack. Interior: open fireplace; stop-chamfered beam. Re-modelled
by Kent to form "The Temple of the Mill" in the principal view from Rousham
Park; one of the earliest examples of a picturesque eyecatcher.
