The Mill in history
The Mill has an extensive history, dating as far back as 1559. The most well known record of The Mill was that of the Batten family, who purchased The Mill from the Hungerford family in 1741. Henry Batten Pooll took over the running of The Mill from his Great Uncle in 1807 and began running it as a cloth factory. The industry fell to a decline in 1850 and was reimagined as a corn mill until 1897. The Mill was again sold on from the Batten Pooll Rode Manor estate in 1955, and laid derelict until it was rescued in 1996.
Rumour has it that the colour "Royal Blue" was created at this Mill.
