This mill originally used as a fulling mill and converted to use as a corn mill in 1840s. A mill is mentioned here in Domesday and a fulling mill here was leased from Keynsham Abbey during C15 and C16, Thomas Baily bought the property at the Dissolution and Leland recorded the thriving mills at Stowford. The Stillman clothier family of Trowbridge owned the mill in late C18 and let it to the Mullings family who remained here until mid C19. (K. Rogers, Somerset and Wiltshire Woollen Mills, 1976).
