View north along Chapel Street
The Marriotts Way long distance footpath crosses here (foreground left) >
Link. The field seen at left is known as Orchard End. The converted White Mill >
Link can be seen in the background. There once used to be two towermills in the mill yard at Cawston Sygate, built in 1853 by John Shepheard Hickling. The slightly smaller Black Mill (so called because it had black tarred cap) was used as a saw mill but at some stage it was used for grinding wheat to flour which was dressed in the adjoining White Mill. The White Mill was 5 storeys high and had a white cap. The mill is described as being derelict in 1923 and the Black Mill was demolished in 1955. The White Mill has since lost several storeys and now serves as a private residence.
