Notes about this historic site
1 A mill is recorded at Bericote in 1086. In 1291 two mills are recorded. A fulling mill had fallen down by 1547.
2 It is difficult to ascertain where the mill was located, but it could have been at this approximate grid reference. There is still a small stream here. On one of the banks there are some sandstone remains of what may have been the mill building.
