Site of mill first recorded in 1647 as a fulling mill, converted to paper making c. 1687-1689 by William Harris. By the mid 19the century the mill had developed into a large complex with buildings set either side of a mill race. By 1908 the complex comprised a boiler house, engine house, salle, carpenter's shop, beating room, rolling room, drying loft and press room. The wheel was 15 feet in diameter and 9 feet wide. The Gurneys, who had bought the mill before 1851, closed paper-making operations in c.1910 and began production of patent roofing material. This venture failed and the mill was abandoned c.1913, the buildings demolished soon after.
