Reed mill was built in the early nineteenth century. It was marked on the 1858-72 Ordnance Survey map. The mill was working until 28 March 1915 when it was tailwinded, the cap and sails were blown off and the mill was abandoned. Before conversion, the mill was an empty tower, all machinery having been removed. In 2010-11 the mill was converted and extended to form residential accommodation. The conversion was covered in the first programme of the second series of Channel 4's The Restoration Man programme. It seems to be also called Reeds Mill, without the apostrophe, or Reed Mill without the apostrophe and the 's'.
