A watermill named Stockwith Mill is marked on the 1st edition 6" Ordnance Survey County Series map. It is labelled as a corn mill, and is of likely post-medieval date. {1} Stockwith Mill is a water-powered corn mill with wheel and attached dwelling. It is located on the east bank of the River Lymn, approximately one mile north-east of Hagworthingham village. The mill is one of several in the vicinity which has been considered as possible inspiration for the 1833 poem ‘The Miller’s Daughter’ by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who lived in nearby Somersby. Reference to an earlier mill on this site is made in an early 15th century will, although the current structure is thought to date to about 1800. The mill building is at the south-western end, with the house attached to the north-east via a short linking section. This linking section is thought to be a slightly later construction, joining what were likely separate structures originally. Both the mill building and attached house are of two storeys, being built of red brick laid in English Garden Wall bond, with pitched roofs of modern clay pantiles. The ridge height of the mill’s roof is slightly higher than that of the house and link section. The mill building has much of the ground floor machinery still intact, including the pitwheel and several shafts, hoists and pulleys. The attic would have been used for storage, feeding grain to the first floor milling room, before the resulting flour was passed to the ground floor for bagging and dispatch. The vertical water wheel is to the south-western gable, and has an iron centre and rim with timber spokes. It sits in a brick housing, directly in the River Lymn, where the water flow is controlled by a sluice. Just downstream of the wheel, the river passes under a footbridge and then widens to a pool in the south. The mill had been a part of the Harrington Hall estate until its sale in 1919, and the house has been a private dwelling since the second half of the 20th century. The kitchen was extended and upgraded to trade standard in the late 20th century, allowing the house to be used as a tea room, in which function it continued until the early 21st century. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {2}{3} Although sold by the Harrington Hall estate in 1919, milling continued here until 1932. The waterwheel is believed to have been converted to generate electricty in 1948, with this use continuing until the 1960s. The wide breast shot waterwheel is 16ft in diameter, byt 5ft wide, and is housed in a brick wheel chamber. Two pairs of under-driven milling stones are on the first floor, one being a set of French stones, with the other being Peak stones. {4}
