Notes about this historic site

2 A mill is known to have existed at Alveston since 966 and in the Domesday survey there were three mills. In 1240 there were two mills and a mill at Tiddington. All three mills were still in existence in 1650. Information on ownership exists for the 17th, 18th and 19th century. The mill was described as being in ruins in 1886 but was not demolished until the 1940s. An illustration of about 1900 shows the mill to have been a small building with an external undershot waterwheel. Nothing remains on the site except a weir across the head race.
