Source Number  

1 A watermill was attached to Brookhampton in 1677. It is marked on Yates' map of 1787-9 and is shown on the OS 1" map of the 1830s. On maps of 1872 and later the E and W Junction Railway is shown passing very close to the site. The building of the Railway must have affected the watercourse to the mill and caused its closure. On the 1886 OS 6" map a footbridge across the stream marks the site but there are no buildings nearby.

Description  
period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
