Eade's watermill
The watermill located on the river at Great Witchingham is known as Eade’s Mill.[2] The mill was built in 1666. Until 1948 the waterwheel was still in working order. By 1972 the watermill was still being used as a hammer mill to grind up pig meal and was powered by electricity. Today, the watermill and its surrounding buildings are listed.
