King's Garth Mill
Also known as The Old Mill as it now forms part of a public house called 'The Old Mill'. A seven-storey, former 6-sailed tower mill built in 1803, worked by wind until it lost a sail in 1868 and the remaining sails were removed for safety reasons. A gas engine powered the stones until c1950 and the mill became derelict thereafter until the summer of 1990 when the tower and associated buildings were converted into a pub & restaurant.
During development, an early Saxon burial ground was uncovered and 106 skeletons and associated burial goods were excavated, some of which can now be seen in Baysgarth Museum
