A mill has existed on this site since Saxon times, when the original stone weir was built. Initially used for grinding grain into flour, it later produced woolen cloth and shredded fabric for stuffing.

Abandoned in 1912, the mill was revived in 2002 when Rachel Feilden and Anthony Battersby purchased it. By 2007, they had installed a 55kW micro-hydropower turbine, restoring its use of the River Frome to generate power.
