| Summary: | Recorded evidence from a law case suggests that one mill was working here in 1638 and at least one was still working in 1669. This is important because it disproves the theory that paper-making was introduced by Huguenot refugees at the end of the 17th century. It was only a minor industry as most paper was still imported from France. |
