History

Rock Mill was built in 1823.[2] The mill was working at the outbreak of the First World War but was converted to a house in about 1919, using the machinery as decoration.[3] The composer John Ireland bought the mill in 1953[2] and died there in 1962.[4] As of 2007, the mill is used as offices.[2]
