1 Marked on Beighton's map of 1725, but its early history is not known. Information on ownership exists for the 19th century, and milling continued until the early 1940s. Conversion to a dwelling started c1960 and was still being carried out in 1971. The mill is a three storey brick structure with an external waterwheel. Most of the machinery has been removed. The wheel was fed by a long leat from the river, and the section nearest the mill is now completely dry.

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.
