Meden Mill was a typical C17th village corn mill built of stone and oak with a pantile roof and an overshot wheel. Silt from the adjacent Pleasley Colliery prevented the mill from working and in 1960 the mill owners demolished the structure, filling the undercrofts with the demolition material. More recently Bench Architects of Buxton obtained planning consent to reconstruct it as a dwelling and this scaled down restoration acted as a catalyst for Derbyshire County Council to grant-aid the re-landscaping of the village green adjacent to the mill-pond sluice gates.
