Description
Currently owned by the St Regis Paper Company (UK) Ltd, the mill complex spreads into both Broadclyst and Silverton Parishes. The site has been used as a mill since at least the early 16c when it appears to have been a fulling mill before becoming a grist mill. The mill itself, not the house, appears to have burnt down sometime around 1740 and to have been rebuilt around 1760. In 1783, William Matthews took control and ran it as a paper mill; a function it serves to the present day.
