Milling has taken place on this site from the medieval period until the 1950s. Much of the milling machinery remains intact within the late 1970s house conversion. The mill originally had two undershot wheels on either side of the building each driving two mill stones. Only the mill wheel on the left hand side remains. The mill was open for the National Mills Weekend. Formally known as Crowfords Mill dating from the 14th century its origins may lie in the 13th century. In the 18th and 19th century the mill was owned by the family of Lord Bateman of Shobdon Court. The mill operated as a corn mill until 1948 and up to 1974 pumped water to Eyton Old Hall.
