This mill was rebuilt at least once in the 19th century, following fires. It served briefly as a silk mill, before reverting to its original function as a grain mill. It was powered by a water wheel as well as steam: a high level leat, mostly culverted, ran in from ponds at Kilver Street. Beyond stands the tower of the church dedicated to St Peter and St Paul
