Now I'd assumed that this had been built as a corn mill, but on the 1st Ed. OS Map it is marked as a Thrashing Mill. Machinery survives inside with gearing and stones, and the remains of an iron clad water wheel. It has been disused since WW2. It is Grade 2 Listed. The old mill pond has been incorporated into the landscaped garden of Old Sleningford Hall.
