Brinkburn Mill

It once formed part of the precincts of Brinkburn Priory and was constructed in around 1800 on the site of a former medieval mill.

It was inherited by his niece and her husband, Major Richard Hodgson, in 1809, and the mill appears to have been rebuilt, along with Brinkburn House, shortly thereafter.

[1] The mill appears in a painting by J. M. W. Turner in about 1830, depicted as tumble-down building with a thatched roof.

The water wheel was used to power an electric generator for a while in the 1930s, before the building fell empty for a number of years.

The Landmark Trust bought the mill in 1990 and undertook a full restoration so that it is available to rent as holiday accommodation.
