History
Barnham Mill was built for the Duke of Grafton in 1821.[1] It is likely that the builder was George Bloomfield of Thelnetham. The mill was worked until 1923.[2] By the Second World War it was derelict, with the cap reduced to the frame and the fantail missing.[3] The mill was stripped of machinery in 1967.[1] It was subsequently incorporated into a house built alongside.[2]
