Lots include a small stone-built structure, measuring approximately 4.5m by 7m, currently owned by the inhabitants of one of the nearby houses. In the 1930s, it housed a turbine which supplied electricity for the whole village, and was listed as 'The Village Electric Supply & Sawmill' in the sales particulars of the Sawley Abbey Estate in 1935. Although the small structure is not the original building which housed the monastic mill machinery, it may be that there is a continuity of location for monastic and post-monastic milling operations in this area. In the same sales particulars, Lot 5 is described as 'Formerly The Old Abbey Mill' and is labelled on the accompanying plan as the long building to the north-east of the small structure and at right angles to the mill-race. During the excavations in the 1970s and 80s this building was partially derelict; it was recorded at this time and it was noted that there was late medieval masonry incorporated into the west end (Coppack et al 2002, 111). It is almost certain that this was originally the medieval mill which was then retained as the village mill following the Dissolution, before becoming a Wesleyan chapel in the nineteenth century.
