The Old Mill started its life in 1813 as a Paper Mill. It later became a joint Corn Mill and Paper Mill until 1890 when its business was transferred to a nearby village. From 1890 the building has had a range of uses, latterly as a pub, but in 2000 it was acquired by Key Inns Ltd, a family-run business with a mission to provide guests and residents with Food, Drink and Accommodation of the highest quality in meticulously-designed premises.
