Notes about this historic site
1 ‘…approaching Newbold from the lower end of the village on the road from Rugby, we have the river parallel the width of a field from the road, and here there was formerly a fulling mill, indications of which, rather than remains, can still be seen.’
2 It is difficult to locate precisely where Bloxam was referring to. No evidence was found of this mill.
