Langford Mill [ref: Z50/71/18]

There has been a mill at the bottom of Mill Lane for over 250 years. It was used for a long time by the Finch and Dane families of Langford. The mill has been powered by water, steam and electricity. From c.1740 to 1861 the mill was used as a paper mill, rather than a flour mill. In the 19^th century it was mainly a corn mill until the 20^th century when it was stripped of its machinery and turned into a mill for seed and grain. By the 1980s the mill had ceased working and was later turned into flats.
