Modern millpond.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 depicts a water mill at this location, annotated as 'T. Mill'.


The millpond for the Howstrake mill lay in an area of wetland to the north of the parish vicarage. It was originally quite extensive, covering almost 1 acre, but has now been landscaped as part of a residential development and is considerably reduced in size.


The grid reference marks the former centre of the pond, for indicative purposes.
