According to the details of the Historic England listing for Rufford Abbey Park, it was built in 1750 by the eighth Baronet Savile as a three-storey corn mill with a large decorative cupola, in 1790 the Mill became a two-storey classical building. Captain Henry Savile added east and west wings when it was converted into a saw mill in 1860.
The Listing description for the mill itself gives the initial date as c.1740, and also an 18th century origin for parts of the west wing, a date consistent with the architecture. The three elements of the mill surrounding a courtyard are Listed Grade II as a single group.
