General notes

Downham Mill was a water driven mill situated on, and powered by, Ings Beck just off Green Lane, Downham. A mill in Downham was first recorded in 1311 but the pictured mill was built in 1818. It operated into the 20th century and by 1930 had reverted to a farmhouse tenanted by farmer Walter Rigby. Today it is a residential building and some of the original features remain.
