Full Description
{1}The location of the horse mill is uncertain. There is a reference to Horsmylne Lane in 1386, but no details are given which indicate its position. In 1449 a cottage was described as extending 90 feet in length along Myllelane, and 20 feet along Perkelane. It would seem safe to conclude that this Mill Lane was not associated with a mill on the Tove, and it is possible that the horse mill was in this vicinity. Perhaps the horse mill was in use for just a short period. The two known references both date from the late 14th century.
