Suggested Saxon site. Present mill dated 1798, but southern eight bays are in fact an older two storeyed building, probably around 1770, which was extended to the north and given an overall top storey and roof in 1798. Later wing to east. Machinery and waterwheel remain intact. At north gable is a rare survival of a World War Two strong point.
See (S1), (S2), (S3) and illustrations in file.
