Linton Mill (Ellington and Linton)
[NZ 25659206] Linton Mill. (1)
An evidence of 1307 refers to 'two marks yearly out of the mill of Linton' given amongst other things to Sir Henry de Thornton, chaplain, by John lord of Widdrington. (2)
[NZ 25689204] The old mill stood in the small enclosure to the south-east of the buildings at present known as Linton Mill. My grandfather demolished the mill about 80 years ago as it was in an unsafe condition. (3)
There are no traces of any buildings to be seen within the enclosure mentioned in T3. The south side of this enclosure is bounded by a wide, water-filled ditch, probably the remains of the old mill race.
At the west end of the enclosure is a small fragment of wall. It has no dateable feature and could not be definitely associated with the mill. (4)
