John Griffin bought the site of what was to become Hough Mill from the Enclosure Commissioners in 1804.
Originally known as Thringstone mill, the mill was purchased by John Hough steward to George Beaumont of Coleorton for the sum of £1,175.
The mill ceased operation in early 20th century and fell into disrepair.
It is said that some of its ironwork was removed in 1940 for the war effort.
By the time Swannington Heritage Trust purchase the site in 1994 all that remained of the mill was a very badly weathered shell of its tower, rotting floor beams and rotting residue of the cap frame.
With the aid of Heritage Lottery Funding new floors, windows, cap and some "stone floor" machinery obtained from a derelict mill, works was completed, the mill reopened to the public in April 2000.
A Great achievement and lovely restored windmill.
Built around 1865, the 20 stamp mill ran until 1875. For a while it was the primary mill for the mines of Ione. In the 1890's the machinery was moved to the (still standing) mill at Berlin, where it can be viewed as one of the main exhibits of Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Historical Park.
To the left of the ruined wall, and across Ione Valley is Paradise Peak in the Paradise Range.
