The 'Neighbour' mentioned by Swete could refer to a mill on an adjacent site or possibly Bellamarsh Mill (PRN 13797) or Palace Mill (PRN 19779). It appears that the mill was subsequently rebuilt or reparied for a century later in a newspaper article dated 27/10/1875 which describes the effects of a recent storm it is reported that at Chudleigh Bridge Mills, occupied by Mr Metherall, 'over forty bushels of wheat were washed out of the mill'. The mill was apparently last used in 1904 and fell down in 1915.
