Background
History
Howsham Mill dates back to and is attributed to John Carr of York. It was built in the Gothic Revival style both as a working grist mill to grind grains into flour and as an eyecatcher or folly within the formal parkscape of nearby Howsham Hall. The mill was powered by a breastshot waterwheel connected by a gear wheel to millstones that grind the grain into flour. Milling of flour ceased in 1947 and the building fell into decay by the 1960s. <p>Howsham Mill has been listed since 1966.</p>
