Fulling Mill Farm. Group of PM buildings (prob. C19) set around rectangular foldyard on sloping site. The N. (uphill) boundary is formed by a ragstone cartshed (poss. part stable or cowhouse) with red brick margins. The cart door is at the gable end. Abutting the shed is a large barn like structure, open on two sides that appears to be a modern building, perhaps on earlier stone dwarf walls used as a garage. Flanking walls on E and W sides (main gate on W) and barn on S. This is a medium sized weatherboarded building with single central gabled threshing door and hipped tiled roof. There is an outshut shelter or cartshed under an extension of the roof line on the downhill side. An L-plan range of single storey cowhouses in ragstone complete the S. side of the yard and wrap around the barns S. side to create a second smaller yard. Oast set a short distance away to NW at TQ 8100 5411. A pair of ragstone roundels attached to short ends of parallel stowage blocks, timber frame and weatherboarding with gabled loading bay projecting on S. side. (1)

Granted to the Priory of Leeds by Robert de Crevecoeur the Younger, the then corn mill was mentioned in the will of Daniel de Crevequer, who died in 1177. Leeds priory was dissolved in 1539. In 1628, Thomas Fludd and Ralphe Buffkin sold the mill to William Cage of Lincoln's Inn, Middlesex. By this time it was a fulling mill. Cage was still the owner in 1689, when the mill was in the occupation of William Tompkin and had previously been in the occupation of Bob Potter. Potter remained in occupation until at least 1707. Hasted noted the mill was still working in 1798 and Greenwood's map of 1822 marks the mill as Shilling Mill. The mill probably had a breast-shot waterwheel as the head was not sufficient for an overshot wheel. Fulling Mill had ceased to be used as a mill by 1843, there being no entry in Bagshaw's Directory of that year. The surviving building is of the fifteenth century
