A C15 document refers to a mill "by the Wade Gate", Roland Dand being the miller. Further mentions in 1600, 1601 and 1640. Mentioned in 1652 as "the old Mill", in 1662 it passed from the Dands and was called a walk mill. In 1696 a forgeman "drowned in Woodhus Forge Dam", in 1741 there was a lease for the scythe and fulling mills in Ravensdale Field. (1)
A document of 1675 refers to the old mill field, old mill water and old mill way, but not the old mill itself, just the new one. Reconstruction of field names based on this document and the Tithe award puts the mill and Ravensdale Field at approx above grid ref. (2) (3)
