It is believed that there has been a mill on this site since the 15th century. The first known recording was in 1684. The property was purchased by a local landowner Viscount Richard Bulkeley and major renovations were undertaken including the fitting of new French burr mill stones, which produced a fine grain flour suitable for bread making. These mill stones were shipped to Tal-y-Cafn, from where they were hauled by 20 of the Viscount's tenants with ox teams, apparently receiving no pay, but rewarded with a meal at the Viscount's expense. An oak beam is still in evidence with the engraving "R. B. 1689" which is presumably to commemorate the completion of the work The Bulkeley family sold the mill in 1889 at public auction, being described as "a good working mill with excellent water power and land attached". I t is not known when the mill ceased working - though, it was probably in the early 1900's, at which time the internal machinery was removed.
