2 ADJACENT MILLS 1303, 1 CORN & 1 FULLING, KNOW AS 'ABBOT'S MILLS' & BURNT DOWN IN C18. 'NEW MILL' IN 1388 (B4).
MAPS SHOW MILL AT APROX NGR (B2).
'NEW MILL (CORN)' SHOWN AT NGR. MILL STILL OPERATES, AS KING'S MILL (B7-8) BUT CEASED WORKING BY WATER POWER IN 1915 (B6).
Shown as 'Hubard's Mill' on map of 1602, and as 'New Mill' on maps from 1842 onwards. The 1842 Tithe Map schedule records the mill and it's associated buildings, watercourses and closes as owned and occupied by William Henry Hill. Possibly built on a new site to the NE of the earlier mill shown on maps of 1602 and 1783. 1836 mill shown on maps from 1842 onwards as a rectangular building, apparently with water wheels at both ends. It had been extended at the western end by 1960 and the modern [1977] map shows the grain store erected to the north of the mill, partly over the old mill pond [and the extension at the eastern end] (B9).
