'palace' or 'place' grist mill was mentioned in 1794 and in 1859 it consisted of a house, mill, barn, stable, outhouses, garden and four small orchards. In 1989 the converted 'palace mill', 'the granary' and 'millhouse' were sold as residential units (bodman).

The mill was apparently demolished in the mid-late 19th century and a new house built on the site.
