Earliest mention in DB. It is mentioned in the Permabulation of Sherwood Forest in 1589. The present mill was erected in 1767 (datestone). It was surveyed in 1963 when it had one internal breastshot wheel, French stones and an auxiliary water turbine (see source for details). The mill was fired in 1923 after which the roof was replaced by asbestos sheeting. The water wheel was scrapped in 1946 and milling is now by electric powered rollers. Water loss was caused through the years because of mining subsidence reducing the available power. (8)
