The scenic Mill Glen walk out the back of Tillicoultry.gives amazing views down the glen. It is a bit steep and hairy in places though once you get past the main path.
The Grade II-listed Hardwater Mill is just to the west of Wellingborough, on the River Nene. It was apparently mentioned in the Domesday Book. Milling ceased in 1946 and it is now a private residence. The present buildings date from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Baden mill on Baden creek, a tributary of the Nith river in Baden, Wilmot township, Waterloo Region, Ontario, at the corner of Mill and Charles street. The mill was originally built as a flax mill in 1867 by the so-called flax and oil king of Canada, James Livingston who once owned most of Baden and also was a Canadian politician. Livingston built the Castle Kilbride in Baden, a humble little "miller's house" :)
Peter Shirk, the owner of the Shirk and Snyder flour mill in Bridgeport bought the Baden mill from Livingston in 1889. Master Feeds owned it from 1952 to 2010 and turned it into a modern facility. Today the mill is owned by Baden Feed and Supply. Baden, by the way, is named after the city of Baden-Baden in Germany. It is also the birthplace of Sir Adam Beck who pioneered hydroelectric power. The photo was taken across the Baden mill pond.

Demolition of Grove Mills, off Halifax Road, Keighley, by Skipton Properties, 25th February 2010. Kennedy House flats in background.
Skipton Properties, who originally pledged to regenerate the historic mills, went on to win an industry award for “Best development over 20 units” for work on the site for excellent design, customer service and quality of construction. The award was presented in March 2010 by the Local Authority Building Control New Home Warranty, which provides ten-year structural warranties for newly built homes. Keighley Area Planning Panel chairman Councillor Chris Greaves said the demolition was a “tragedy”, stressing he had expected the property to be converted into flats.

The red-painted Starr’s Mill, in Fayette County just a mile south of Peachtree City, is one of the most historic, picturesque and famously photographed sites in the state. The Mill sits along what was once a portion of the old McIntosh Trail, a famous Indian trail that ran from the Ocmulgee River on the eastern border of Butts County in Georgia onward to Alabama and beyond.
Starr’s Mill has been featured in numerous magazines as well as the movie "Sweet Home Alabama” starring Reese Witherspoon. It also is the site of one of Fayette County’s most bizarre and unsolved murders mysteries. On November 1, 1966, George Lynch, who was the mill caretaker for many years, was found unconscious at the mill. He died the next day. An autopsy determined he had suffered a blow to the head. Oddly enough, nine years earlier in 1957 on the very same day, Lynch’s wife, Fannie Lou Lynch, had died at Starr’s Mill when a car hit her as she walked across the bridge.
You can visit Starr’s Mill any day of the year. There are picnic tables and lights. Fishing is permitted in the mill pond with a Georgia license.
Below is an essay about Starr’s Mill from The Flint River: A Recreational Guidebook to the Flint River and Environs by Fred Brown and Sherri Smith Brown.
At one time numerous gristmills for grinding grain operated along the Flint River and its tributaries above the Fall Line. These were some of the region’s earliest industry. Starr’s Mill, located on Whitewater Creek in Fayette County, is one of the few gristmills that remain standing in the area.
In all, 16 property owners and three mills have been part of the Starr’s Mill history. Hananiah Gillcoat, the property’s second owner, constructed the first mill sometime between 1822 and 1827, just after the region was opened to settlement in 1821. Records indicate that the second millhouse to stand on the site burned to the ground around 1900, supposedly by arson. In 1907 the property’s 13th owner, William T. Glower, built the present wooden millhouse, on the same foundation, and the concrete dam.
Over the years, the mill, as well as the community that grew up around it, became known as Starr’s Mill, after 10th owner Hilliard M. Starr, who acquired the property in 1866. An 1870 census lists H. M. Starr Mill as having a maximum capacity of 100 bushels per day, $5,000 capital, two water wheels and 30 horsepower.
A cotton gin that served the community once stood at the opposite end of the dam. It was capable of ginning one bale of cotton per hour. Gates on each end of the dam opened and closed to regulate the necessary flow of water needed to drive the gin’s machinery, as well as the mill. The gin operated until the mid-1940s and was blown down by a wind storm in 1955. In 1959 Starr’s Mill ceased production and the remains of the old cotton gin were town down.
Like other mill ponds, the mill pond at Starr’s Mill was the center of community activities. Fishing, swimming, camping and family reunions took place around the pond. The April 15, 1904, Fayetteville News reported that Col. A. O. Blalock caught the biggest fish of the season, a 17 pound carp, at Starr’s pond, “a fine pull as the water was ten feet deep where he caught it.”
In 1991, Fayette County purchased the mill for use as a water system reservoir. You aren’t allowed to swim there anymore, but on a June day, fishermen trying their hand can still be seen fishing among the lily-padded tail waters of the Starr’s Mill dam.

New Hamburg mill on the Nith river in New Hamburg, Wilmot township, Waterloo Region, Ontario. New Hamburg owes its heritage to this now unassuming looking mill. It was William Scott who acquired the property and water rights from Abraham Shade in 1845. Scott built a new mill on the property and a mill race nearly a third of a mile long to power it. The mill prospered when the Grand Truck Railway was built through New Hamburg in 1856. Scott sold his holdings to Parker and Wilson in 1864. The mill passed through a succession of owners until a boiler explosion severely damaged the building in 1889. Fred Merner rebuilt the mill and sold it to his brother Christian. It passed through a number of owners again until, you guessed it, the frame mill finally succumbed to a spectacular mill fire in 1902. The Stuart brothers from Mitchell, Ontario rebuilt the mill in 1904. The three story brick building is still standing here today. New Hamburg Flour Mills bought the mill from the Stuart brothers in 1922. The water turbines and water wheels were still used into the 1940s and 1950s to back up the mill during hydro shortages. Water power stopped being used when the flour production stopped. Today the mill race has been filled in but the old turbine equipment still lingers in the basement. B-W Feed & Seed Limited is the current owner of the mill. The mill is part of the Heritage Conservation district in New Hamburg. Though the mill race is gone you can still see the dam and mill pond downtown. You can also visit the commemorative Heritage Water Wheel that has been built near the dam. It is the largest operating water wheel in North America and was built as a symbol of the New Hamburg water mill heritage.
I produced a great looking board yesterday on my little CNC mill. The
solution was to add $4 worth of fender washers so that I could remove
any vibration from the mill table. I'm using the same bits and
configuration files between the these two circuit boards. The only
thing that changed was the fender washers.
During our 2016 vacation, we visited the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill museum in Salem, Oregon, part of the Willamette Heritage Center.
Sheldon mill on Sheldon creek in the little known community of Sheldon, Adjala Tosorontio township, Simcoe County, Ontario. Joseph Alexander built a flour and grist mill on this site in 1824. It passed through several owners until Wilfred Nelson owned and operated it. A fire ended the mill operation in 1963. Nelson had been involved with the mill for fifty years. At the time of the fire, the Sheldon mill was the second oldest continuously running water driven mill in Ontario. The Nelson family sold the mill after the fire. The current owners built the present building on the old foundation and added a decorative water wheel. The wheel was turning while I was there. The mill pond and dam are still present. Amusingly, Sheldon was once called Pigtown and Gutter Gap. It was officially changed to Sheldon when a post office opened there in 1867. It was rumored the government changed the village name simply to give it a more mellifluous one. To get to this mill take the Mono Adjala townline road north from Hockley to Sheldon. It will be on your left before you reach Rosemont. It is a well kept private estate. The mill is only one of the buildings. You will need a long lens to take a photo of it from the edge of the property.

Curious onlookers from Pilsen watched fire trucks, police cars, Peoples Gas, news trucks, and finally, Chicago Water Management vehicles mill about.
The Earl Mill was originally built in 1860 for the Earl Mill Co Ltd. It was rebuilt in 1891 and extended two years later, and again in 1920. Production ended in 1930 and after a number of other uses it is now mainly offices. The rebuilding of 1891 was to the design of P.S. Stott. The engines was a 1,250hp horizontal twin tandem compound by Buckley & Taylor.
The mills closed and left a long time ago.
I've spent many days enjoying the water here, either fishing from the banks or swimming in the cool clear water.
Morningstar grist mill on Twelve Mile Creek at the top of Decew Falls, St. Catherines, Niagara Region, Ontario. Robert Chappell originally built this mill in 1872. Wilson Morningstar bought the mill from the city of St. Catherines in 1883. He operated the mill until his death in 1933. The city bought the mill again in 1989. The volunteer group, Friends of Morningstar Mill restored the mill. Today the mill is still a fully operational water driven mill and is open to tourists during the summer. The turbine is housed in the red shed attached at the back. The Decew Falls are behind the mill in this photo.
nrhp # 98001314- Also known as Forbes Mill. This mill was first built and operated by Joseph Hardy, Sr., a veteran of the Revolutionary War who settled here in the late 1700s. In 1785 the county granted him permission to erect a mill at this site which became operational in the 18th century. The Hardy Mill was sometimes referred to as Greenville Mill. And that building was washed away by flood in the 19th century. The replacement mill was believed to have been erected by William A. Hardy. Following his death in the late 19th century, the Hardy property passed through the hands of several different short term owners.
Mr. Reed Forbes and his family came from Franklin County, Virginia in the late 1800s to operate a mill at Kelso. Records show that in 1901 Forbes had purchased and began occupying a tract of land which encompassed the miller’s house adjoining the mill. He apparently placed the mill back into regular operation during that time. By 1910 he was able to secure a full title to the mill tract and the millfrom its owners, W.I. and P.J. Langford, and the
mill then became known as Forbes Mill.
Local tradition holds that a fire destroyed this mill building around 1916...
Forbes and his wife, Martha Jane Howell Forbes had nine children. Along with their father, several of the sons became wheelwrights, master builders and carpenters.
Before the 1917 a flood washed away the dwelling house and mill. Forbes and his sons first reconstructed the new house at a higher elevation above the river and replaced the mill in 1920. The new building, designed by Reed Forbes, was a combination of corn and flour mill. The mansard roof gave the mill three floors of working space. Four modern rollers were added to produce bleached flour in addition to conventional millstones for more coarsely ground products. The same year Reed’s son, 29 year old Robert Kelso Forbes was documented as the miller. In 1928 Reed Forbes died. Robert inherited the mill and real estate and operated the mill until 1936.
The mill with the adjoining miller’s house was sold to Charles David Atkinson who never came to live in the area but hired millers to carry on the business. It was during these years that the name Big Otter Mill was first used. The mill produced its brand names of Golden Eagle Flour and Pioneer Corn Meal. They also undertook commercial grinding.
By 1946 Atkinson sold Big Otter Mill and the home to Mr. Julius O. Kirby, ...
who continued to run the gristmill, although somewhat irregularly. According to Kirby’s son the mill ceased commercial operation about 1950. To settle the Kirby estate after the death of Mrs. Kirby about 1996, David Cole, a semi retired contractor, builder, and preservationist, purchased the mill and took steps to stabilize, repair and restore the mill building and bring its equipment back to working condition. After Cole moved away, it was necessary for him to dispose of the building and he donated the property as a historical landmark to Bedford County. The county along with interested citizens has formed the Big Otter Mill Foundation which is in the process of determining the steps needed to restore the mill to working order.
Like many rural mills, this mill served as a community center of sorts...
In addition to flour and meal grinding, a saw mill and store on the property brought neighbors together to work, socialize and shop. The store, run by members of the Hardy family in the 20th century, served a political function as the polling place for the local precinct. Paul Forbes, Reed’s grandson recalled that during a busy season this mill would operate 24 hours a day. Another person recalled the mill pond being a popular place for Sunday boat rides.
Family members related a story about a child playing across the road along the water brought in the race from the dam upstream on Big Otter. The water in the race ran rapidly and was diverted under the roadway into an open wooden raceway leading to the water wheel that powered the mill. One of the children had slipped into the stream of water and was pulled into the flow under the road Screams of panic drew attention and a person at the raceway was able to snatch the child to safety before she went into the turning millwheel.

Designed by George Stott, Manor Mill was erected in 1906. It is one of the most complete mills in Oldham, retaining its external engine house and the full height of its chimney. Built in red brick with stone dressings, it is characterised by its impressive copper-covered dome in the Byzantine style. Listed Grade II. The mill ceased spinning in 1990 and is now in multiple business occupancy. A plan to turn it into a heritage centre failed to materialise.
The engine was a 1500hp cross-compound Corliss type by George Saxon driving 30 ropes from a 26 ft diameter flywheel.

Sierra Pacific announces closure of Susanville Mill
By Shayla Ashmore
News Editor
Sierra Pacific Industries announced the permanent closure of its Susanville sawmill last week due to a serious log shortage. Sierra Pacific spokesman Ed Bond said all employees would get 60-days notice before the mill is closed and dismantled sometime during the first three months of 2004. Employees will receive the notice once an exact closure date is set.
Bond said current employees will be asked if they would like to transfer to another Sierra Pacific facility, and if so where.
"And we will attempt to accommodate those transfers," he said on Tuesday, Dec. 16.
Bond said George Emmerson, SPI's vice president of sales and operations, came to Susanville personally to announce the closure to mill crews.
"This is one of the most difficult things the company has had to do," Bond said of the meeting with employees.
"Someone might consider this as a terrible time - before the holidays - to be telling people this," Bond said. "Well, there's no good time to tell people this and we felt that if this is going to happen, we'd already made the decision that they should know so they can plan accordingly. It wouldn't be right if someone went out and a bought a new car or signed up for a new home or something with the prospect of not having a job there."
SPI officials only made the decision to close the mill on Thursday, Dec. 11 and employees were notified as soon as possible, he said.
"We wanted to minimize the heartache of speculation and uncertainty for the families and move forward," an SPI press release issued late on Monday, Dec. 15 quoted Bond.
Company officials cited the loss of Forest Service timber, unfair competition from states with fewer environmental regulations and foreign imports as the reasons behind the difficult decision. In the press release, SPI pointed out timber sales from the Lassen National Forest fell from 108 million board feet in 1990 to 17.9 million in 2002.
"That mill has been designed to cut higher grade logs," Bond said. "And even with the Healthy Forest initiative and the Quincy Library Group programs, why, the types of logs that would be coming off of those from the Forest Service would not be the higher grade logs that would be necessary for that mill."

I'll be glueing most of of the parts together, per the plans, but will likely back them up with some screws. Here, I'm installing the braces on the bedway.
What started at the beginning of January as revisiting a few churches around Bridge, became a grand tour of the Nailbourne and Little Stour valley.
As it was unplanned, it was also unstructured, so ended up at the source of the Nailbourne on the penultimate weekend of churchcrawling, rather than the first.
The Nailbourne erupts from a banks below the church, maybe 50m away from the east end of the chancel.
Lyminge is an ancient place, the Romans lived here, probably because of the Naibourne, as did the Saxons, and the church is part Saxon.
The south-east corner of the chancel is supported by a buttress and the path to the porch passes underneath it.
On the south wall there is an odd cut out, presumably from a tomb, John Vigar says that the south wall was the north wall of the original Saxon church.
The church is so part Saxon, and has Roman brics mixed in too.
------------------------------------------
In the churchyard, west of the present building, are the foundations of the seventh-century church founded by St Ethelburga, daughter of King Ethelbert and Queen Bertha (see Canterbury). The present church is also Saxon and stands north of the original building so that the old north wall is now the south wall of today's church. When the church was founded there was no village, which explains why the present village stands a little removed from this restricted plateau site. The first thing the visitor sees is an enormous flying buttress holding up the south-east corner of the church - the pathway actually runs beneath it! The north aisle was added in the fifteenth century and is separated from the nave by a three-bay arcade with most unusual piers. The chancel arch is also out of the ordinary and is probably the result of fifteenth-century rebuilding of the Saxon original. A great deal of nineteenth-century work survives, including a good east window and reredos, but none of this detracts from the antiquity and atmosphere of this interesting building.

LIMINGE
IS the next parish eastward, both to Stowting and Elmsted. It is written in the book of Domesday, Leminges, and in other records, Lymege. There are three boroughs in it, those of Liminge, Siberton, and Eatchend.
THE PARISH lies on the northern or opposite side of the down hills from Stanford, at no great distance from the summit of them. It is a large parish, being about six miles in length, and about three in breadth, from east to west, and the rents of it about 2000l. per annum. It lies the greatest part of it on high ground, on the east side of the Stone-street way, where it is a dreary and barren country of rough grounds, covered with woods, scrubby coppice, broom, and the like, the soil being and unfertile red earth, with quantities of hard and sharp stint stones among it. In that part adjoining to the Stone-street way, is Westwood, near two miles in length; and not far from it, two long commons or heaths, the one called Rhode, the other Stelling Minnis; of the latter, a small part only being within this parish, there are numbers of houses and cottages built promiscuously on and about them, the inhabitants of which are as wild, and in as rough a state as the country they dwell in. Near the southern boundary of the parish is the estate and manor of Liminge park, which, as well as Westwood, belongs to Mr. Sawbridge, of Ollantigh, who has near 700 acres of woodland in this parish, the whole of his estate here having been formerly appurtenant to the manor of Liminge, and together with it, exchanged by archbishop Cranmer as before-mentioned, with king Henry VIII. in his 31st year. On the east part of these hills, towards the declivity of them, the soil changes to chalk, and not far from the foot of them are the houses of Longage and Siberton, the former of which belonged to the Sawkins's, and then to the Scotts, a younger branch of those of Scotts-hall; afterwards by marriage to William Turner, of the White Friars, in Canterbury, and then again in like manner to David Papillon, esq. whose grandson Thomas Papillon, esq. of Acrise, now owns it. Below these hills is the great Nailbourn valley, which is very spacious and wide here, on each side of which the hills are high and very frequent, and the lands poor, but in the vale near the stream there is a tract of fertilelands and meadows, and the country becoming far from unpleasant, is as well as the rest of the parish exceedingly healthy. The valley extends quite through the parish from north to south; just above it, on the side of the hill, is the village of Liminge, in which is the parsonage-house, a handsome modern dwelling, and above it, still higher, the church. More southward in the valley is a house, called Broadstreet, the property and residence of the Sloddens for many generations; still further in the valley, near the boundary of the parish, and adjoining to the Hangres, being a part of the down or chalk hills, which continue on to Caldham, near Folkestone, a space of near six miles, is the hamlet of Echinghill, or Eachand, corruptly so called for Ikenild, close under the hill of which name it lies, the principal house in which formerly belonged to the Spicers, of Stanford; hence the road leads to Beechborough, and so on to Hythe.
A fair is held in the village of Liminge yearly, on July 5, for toys, pedlary, &c.
Near Eching street, a little to the southward of it, is a spring or well, called Lint-well, which runs from thence southward below Newington towards the sea; and on the opposite or north side of that street rises another spring, which takes a direct contrary course from the former, one running through the valley northward towards North Liminge, where it is joined by two springs, which rise in Liminge village, at a small distance north-east from the church, gushing out of the rock at a very small space from each other, the lowermost of which called St. Eadburg's well, never fails in its water. These united springs, in summer time in general, flow no further than Ottinge, about one mile from their rise, at which time the space from thence to Barham is dry there; but whenever their waters burst forth and form the stream usually called the Nailbourn, which the country people call the Nailbourne's coming down, then, though in the midst of summer, they become a considerable stream, and with a great gush and rapidity of waters, flow on to a place called Brompton's Pot, which is a large deep pond, a little above Wigmore, having a spring likewise of its own, which hardly ever overflows its bounds, excepting at these times, when, congenial with the others, it bursts forth with a rapidity of water, about three miles and an half northward from Liminge, and having jointly with those springs overfilled its bounds, takes its course on by Barham into the head of the Little Stour, at Bishopsborne, making a little river of its own size. These Nailbourns, or temporary land springs, are not unusaual in the parts of this country eastward of Sittingborne, for I know of but one, at Addington near Maidstone, which is on the other side of it. (fn. 1) Their time of breaking forth or continuance of running, is very uncertain; but whenever they do break forth, it is held by the common people as the forerunner of scarcity and dearness of corn and victuals. Sometimes they break out for one or perhaps two successive years, and at others with two, three, or more years intervention, and their running continues sometimes only for a few months, and at others for three or four years, as their springs afford a supply. (fn. 2)
Dr. Gale, in his Comment on Antorinus's Itinerary, conjectures that at this village of Leming two Roman ways, one from Lenham to Saltwood castle, and the other from Canterbury to Stutfal castle, intersected each other; as indeed they do at no great distance from it, nearer to Limne; and that the word Lemen, now by modern use written Leming, was by our early ancestors used to denote a public way. Hence that military way leading from Isurium to Cataractouium, is called Leming-lane, and the town near it Le- ming. So in the county of Gloucester, on the sosseway, there is a town called Lemington. Hence, he adds, that Durolevum, in this county, changed its name into Lenham, to signify its being situated on the public way or road; and perhaps the name of Ikenhill, very probably so called corruptly for Ickneld, in this parish before-mentioned, has still further strengthened this conjecture; there being said to have been two Roman ways of the name of Icknild-street, in this kingdom, though no one yet has determined precisely where they were.
¶The Manor of Liminge was part of the antient possessions of the monastery of Christ-church, in Canterbury, to which it had been given in the year 964, on the supperssion of the monastery founded in this parish by Ethelburga, called by some Eadburga, daughter of king Ethelbert, who by the favour of her brother king Eadbald, built this monastery to the honor of the blessed Virgin Mary, and of her own niece St. Mildred. Ethelburga, the founder, was buried in it, as was St. Mildred, whose bodies were afterwards removed by archbishop Lanfrance to St. Gregories church, in Canterbury. This monastery was at first said to consist of nuns, but afterwards came under the government of an abbot, and continued so, till suffering much by the continual ravages of the Danes, it was suppressed and granted to the monastery of Christ-church as before-mentioned. (fn. 3) The possessions of it here were given at different times during the Saxon heptarchy; some of them were given to this church of Liminge, in the time of archbishop Cuthbert, who had been abbot of it. After which this manor remained part of the possessions of the monastery of Christ-church, till archbishop Lanfranc dividing the revenues of his church between himself and his monks, this manor was allotted to the archbishop; in which state it continued at the time of taking the survey of Domesday, in which it is thus entered:
In Moniberge hundred, the archbishop himself holds Leminges, in demesne. It was taxed at seven sulings. The arable land is sixty carucates. In demesne there are four, and one hundred and one villeins, with sixteen borderers having fifty-five carucates. There is a church and ten servants, and one mill of thirty pence, and one fishery of forty eels, and thirty acres of pasture. Wood for the pannage of one hundred hogs.
There belong to it six burgesses in Hede. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth twenty four pounds, and afterwards forty pounds, and now the like, and yet it yields sixty pounds.
Of this manor three tenants of the archbishop hold two sulings and an half, and half a yoke, and they have there five carucates in demesne, and twenty villeins, with sixteen borderers having five carucates and an half, and one servant, and two mills of seven shillings and six-pence, and forty acres of meadow. Wood for the pannage of eleven hogs. There are two churches. In the whole it was worth eleven pounds.
Thomas Bedingfield gave by will in 1691, a house and lands in the parish of St. Mary, Romney Marsh, this parish, and Woodchurch, towards the education and maintenance of poor children of the parishes of Smeeth, Liminge, and Dimchurch; and 10s. unto two poor women of each of the said parishes yearly. They are of the annual value of 54l. 10s. and are vested in trustees.
David Spycer, of this parish, by will in 1558, devised to the poor of it 20l. to be paid them yearly at 20s. a year.
There is an unendowed school here, for the teaching of boys and girls reading, writing, and accounts; and an alms-house, consisting of two dwellings, the donor of it to the parish unknown.
The poor constantly maintained are about fifty, casually 30.
Liminge is within the Eccelstical Jurisdiction of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Elham.
¶The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary and St. Eadburgh, consists of two isles and a chancel, having a square tower steeple, with a low pointed turret on it, at the west end, in which are five bells. This church is handsome, being built of quarry stone. The arches and pillars on the north side of the south isle are elegant. In the chancel is a monument for William Hollway, esq. chief justice of Gibraltar, obt. 1767, who with his mother and wife, lie buried in a vault underneath, arms, Sable, two swords in saltier, argent. and memorials in it, as well as in the south isle, for the family of Sawkins. In the north isle a memorial for John Lyndon, A. M. vicar, obt. 1756. In the east window are the arms of the see of Canterbury impaling Bourchier; and in one of the south windows a bishop's head and mitre. On the outside of the steeple, are the arms of the see of Canterbury impaling Warham, that on the south side having a cardinal's hat over it. At the south-east corner of the chancel is a very remarkable buttress to it, the abutment being at some feet distance from the chancel, and joined to it by the half of a circular arch, seemingly very antient. In the church-yard are two tombs for the Scotts, of Longage. Henry Brockman, of Liminge, appears by his will in 1527, to have been buried in this church, and devised to the making of the steeple five pounds, as the work went forward; and David Spycer, of this parish, by will in 1558, devised to this church a chalice, of the price of five pounds. (fn. 10) This church, with the chapels of Stanford and Padlesworth annexed, was always accounted an appendage to the manor, and continued so till the 31st year of king Henry VIII. when the archbishop conveyed the manor to the king, but reserved the patronage and advowson of this church out of the grant to himself, by which means it became separated from the manor, and became an advowson in gross; and though the archbishop afterwards, by his deed anno 38 Henry VIII. conveyed it to the king and his heirs, and the king that same year granted it, with the manor and its appurtenances in fee, to Sir Anthony Aucher as before-mentioned, and it was possessed by the same owners as the manor from time to time, yet having been once separated, it could never be appendant to it again. Through which chain of ownership it afterwards came at length to lord Loughborough, and from him again to the Rev. Mr. Ralph Price, the present proprietor and patron of it.
The church of Liminge is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon. There is both a rectory and vicarage endorsed belonging to this church, which appears to have been before the 8th of king Richard II.
The rectory is a sinecure, and the vicar performs the whole service of the cure, but they both receive institution and induction, and although some years ago this establishment of it was attempted by the ordinary to be set aside as separate benefices, it was without effect, and the Rev. Mr. Ralph Price, the patron, continues to present to both rectory and vicarage.
The rectory, with the two chapels above-mentioned, is valued in the king's books at 21l. 10s. and the yearly tenths at 2l. 3s. Procurations 1l. 10s. The vicarage at 10l. 18s. 9d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 1s. 10½d.
In 1588 here were communicants two hundred and eighty-three. In 1640 there were two hundred and fifty-five, and the vicarage was valued at eighty pounds.
The tithes and profits of this parish, and the glebeland, about forty acres, are now worth upwards of four hundred pounds per annum, exclusive of the chapels annexed to it. Mr. Sawbridge's estates in this parish, formerly park land, pay by custom only half a crown composition yearly, in lieu of tithes, but Westwood pays full tithes.
It appears by the register of Horton priory, that Liminge was once the head of a rural deanry, Sir Hugh, dean of Liminge, being mentioned as a witness to a dateless deed of Stephen de Heringod, of a gift of land to that priory, of about the reign of king Henry III. (fn. 11)
nrhp # 82004523- Established 1860 The mill was originally a water-powered gristmill and then a steam powered burr mill. It was sold by Charles E. Barnard to Major T.C. Jordan in 1874. Jordan sold the mill to Dr. J. J. Hannah in 1943 where it became a health spa with mineral water. Dr. Hannah added a wing to the building. In 1949 it became a hospital and clinic with the arrival of Dr. Roger Marks. The building was sold to Dr. Marks and Dr. Robert English in 1955, and it became the Marks-English Hospital and Clinic. The building was sold to Richard H. Moore in 1979. Mr. Moore gifted the mill to the Somervell History Foundation in 2005.
