The mill (centre) and the millers house (right) have been converted into a private dwelling house. There has been a mill in Shottisham since the 16th century (The following is from Shottisham Parish Plan April 2012) The millpond, fed from springs rising near Church Lane and others to the north, is now much reduced in size. When milling stopped in the 1950s, it was completely filled in; then partly re-dug in the 1980s. During the later period of operation, water power was supplemented by steam power. The mill was last used commercially in 1944, and the engine is now in the Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket. Photographed with the kind permission of the owner.
