Summary
East Corn Mill has been disused since at least 1904. Not clear exactly when mill was established but is shown on the Tithe Map. Possible mill building appears to date to the early-mid 19th century; house is 18th century. House appears to have been in decline in the mid-late 20th century, but was reconditioned in the early 1970s.
