Full Description
{1} The first windmill mentioned within the manor is in 1590, when it is stated that about twelve years earlier Robert Carell had erected ‘upon her majesty’s field one windmill to the prejudice of her majesty’s ancient mills.’ No rent is mentioned for the windmill in 1590 and it is unclear if the mill had already been demolished or was cleared away following the survey. A windmill is shown by Ogilby in 1675, on the high ground to the south of Cotton, but it cannot be accurately located from the map. No windmill remained in the township in the 18th century on Eayre's map. (1)
