The Sadler's Mill, which is now a private residence, has a varied history. First recordings of the mill are dated back to the 16th century and it was originally used as a corn mill.

Lord Palmerston bought the Sadler's Mill around 1740. At this time, there was a mill for fulling (part of the cloth making process) and a mill for corn.

In the 20th century, an electric generator replaced the corn milling, to act as a backup electricity supply for the Broadlands estate.

Until the water flow was altered in the 1990s, this spot was a brilliant place to watch salmon leaping through the river, as they swam upstream to spawn.

Nice walk past the water Mill where you can either go left out into farm fields and into woods towards Shootash or turn right out go into Romsey through the Memorial Park.
