Building record 3979/1/1 - The Hall Mill Building

{1} The primary mill in Rothwell was the Hall Mill described in 1607 as a building of two bays. The mill building, apparently of stone and with a thatched roof, is depicted in an area of hedged closes in the foreground of Tillemans' prospect of Rothwell in 1719 or 1721. Although the 'mill dam' is mentioned at Inclosure, no mill building is shown on the Inclosure map.

{2} Engraving of town seen from south-east appears to show watermill still standing.
