Monument record 364/3 - Edgcote mill

At Domesday in 1086, one mill was recorded at Hocecote. The mill is depicted in 18th and 19th century maps. In 1927 it was described as 'a wreck'.

{1} History:
1086 Domesday survey records at Hocecote one mill rendering 10s
1772 Militia List records James Hartley, miller
1851 Census lists a farm bailiff at Edgcott Mill and there is no reference to a miller in the village at this time or afterwards
1927 Mill described as a "wreck"

Documentary sources: Map of House and Garden of Richard Chauncey, 1713, marks Mill River (but map does not extend to site of mill); 1791 Eyre's and Jeffries map shows what appears to be a mill symbol at this location; 1810 OS survey plan marks it Mill; and c.1841 Tithe map shows the mill
