Howkeld Mill is a historic building off the A170 Kirkdale Road in Welburn, a village near Kirkbymoorside in North Yorkshire, England.
The watermill lies on Howkeld Beck.[1] A corn mill of the name was recorded in 1545,[2] and parts of an earlier building have been incorporated in the current structure, which was built in the early 19th century. The building was later extended,[3] and in the late 20th century was converted into a house.[4] It was Grade II listed in 1985.[3] In 2020, it was marketed for sale for £950,000, at which time, it had a hall, a dining room in which the mill workings were visible, a sitting room, kitchen, shower room, bathroom, and five bedrooms.[5]
The watermill is built of limestone on a sandstone base, with quoins and a pantile roof. It has three storeys and three bays. It contains doorways in the lower two storeys, and the windows are horizontally sliding sashes with heavy milled lintels.[3]
