Scoulton
postmill |
Scoulton post windmill was working in the late 1200s. A map has now come to light showing the mill position on Mill Hill Field in 1765. However, to identify the site on a more modern map is not overly easy, as the road and track layouts have altered dramatically and the surveyors in the 1700s did not have modern equipment to ensure accuracy. |
This manor had free-warren, assize of bread and beer, a manor-house, windmill and fishery and was worth £11. 7s. per annum in 1282. |
