The Old Mill, Ruthin, Denbighshire, North Wales, probably dates from around 1300. The Warden of Ruthin, the early 19th-century Archdeacon Newcome, noted that the building had been used as a garrison chapel. There are two early English pointed arches and one gable end has a blocked lancet window, with a sunken cross above. The watermill was removed from the mill during the 1950s (the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales says c. 1947[1]) and Mill Street runs to the side of the old mill.[2]
It was designated as a Grade II listed building on 24 October 1950.[2]
