Hoxne watermill was built in 1846 to replace the earlier building of 1749, which in turn replaced an earlier building on the same site. Somewhere just prior to rebuilding, the 1749 building had been converted from corn milling to flax and linen manufacture. Eventually the mill was converted back to corn milling and it may be that this change of use occurred several times throughout its life. The building is of three storeys, built of brick up to the first storey and then timber framed and weatherboarded with a slate roof.
