Blackland Mill is probably on the site of the 13th century mill and seems always to have been a corn mill. It was rebuilt c.1800 to provide a mill, mill house and detached granary. Milling ceased between 1915 and 1920 but continued from then until 1982 when the mill was restored. From 1983 to 1993 wholemeal flour was milled here until milling finally ceased. It was one of the last mills in the area to close, after milling flour on the site for over 800 years. Source; http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getcom.php?id=45
