caption_attribution_description: English: Ifield Mill House: a large 16th-century timber-framed building associated with Ifield Water Mill (q.v.), now a pub. Listed at Grade II by English Heritage (ref #299491)
context_page_description: Ifield Water Mill is a 19th-century weatherboarded watermill in the Ifield neighbourhood of Crawley, a town and borough in West Sussex, England. Built on the site of an earlier, smaller flour mill, which itself replaced an iron forge—one of many in the Crawley area—it fell into disuse in the 1930s. The local council, which acquired the land for housing development in the 1970s, leased the mill to local enthusiasts, who restored it to working order. The mill and an associated house are listed buildings, and there is also a cottage on the site.
context_section_description: Ifield Water Mill was listed at Grade II by English Heritage on 21 June 1948.  It is one of 79 Grade II structures, and 100 listed buildings of all grades, in the Borough of Crawley.  The Borough Council still own the building, but it is leased to Crawley Museum Society.  Before Crawley Museum was established in Goffs Park in the Southgate neighbourhood, a temporary museum and exhibition was housed in the mill.
  The mill house and cottage were also bought by the council as part of their land acquisition programme, and have been leased to private tenants since then.  The mill house, a 16th-century half-timbered building with modern additions in brick, is now a public house.  It has an original tiled hipped roof, but much of the building was remodelled in the 20th century in the style of the old structure.  It was listed at Grade II on 1 May 1974.  The cottage is not listed separately by English Heritage.  It was built in the 16th or 17th century as a barn, but was converted to residential use in the 1930s.
