Notes about this historic site
1 In 1670 a corn mill (PRN 1035) was demolished and an iron forge built by Francis Watts. The iron was brought to the mill by barges on the River Avon. It was leased to Thomas Archer in the 1680s and continued to operate as a forge until the 1730s. After this time it seems to have reverted to corn grinding.
