Tutsham Mill, also known as West Farleigh Oil Mill, is situated at Teston Lock on the River Medway. It was a water-powered oil seed cake mill, originally of the 19th century.

It became Boorman, Wild and Co., operated by Robert Manning Hayman in 1862. Robert Leigh of Barham Court installed Anglo Machinery for a short while. It was leased by the Stewart Brothers from 1882 and by Spencer of Strood from 1884 to 1885. The mill was partly destroyed by fire in 1889 and is now ivy-covered ruins, which are still visible.
