A nearby information board states that the corn mill for the manor of Warley was first recorded in 1274. In 1633 the mill was owned by Henry and Jane Murgatroyd, and they rebuilt it. The datestone is inscribed "1633 / M / H I" with also the letters W and S, probably standing for Warley Soke, flanking the 'M'.
