Two water powered mills have stood at Nant Meigan since 1528. They are both clearly shown on John Speeds Map of Anglesey. The name derives from Sir Rowland Vielville, an illegitimate son of Henry VII who was brought up in Brittany and later became Constable of Beaumaris Castle. The corner stone is carved with the following inscription "RB 1675."
