The mill was first recorded, milling Corn , in the Domesday Book of 1086 . The mill was last rebuilt in 1744 and remained in use until the early 1900s . The mill was then used as a Laundry until 1928 when it was offered for sale. In order to prevent its demolition, a group of benefactors bought the mill and presented it to the National Trust. In 1932 the mill was leased to the Youth Hostels Association for use as a Hostel , a usage that continued until recently. In 2004 , a 12 year restoration program came to a successful conclusion, and after a hiatus of at least 90 years the mill again milled flour by water power. The water mill can be seen working daily during the summer months. The mill building also houses a National Trust shop. REFERENCES
