Buxton watermilll was recorded in Domesday in 1085. It was last rebuilt as a mill in 1754 by William Pepper, a merchant living in Buxton. The building was constructed of white painted brick and weatherboard with a pantile roof and has been a prominent landmark in the village for many years.

It finally ceased as a working mill one sad Saturday in August 1970 when Duffields finally closed the complex in order to concentrate their business at the larger site at Saxlingham Thorpe.

William Pepper's mill was a clever design, using two wheels, the larger being breastshot. The smaller wheel was overshot using water that formed part of the Aylsham Navigation and gained its head by the lock system at Buxton. The only other mills to use overshot wheels in Norfolk that I have found so far were at Congham, Foulden, Hingham, Mundesley, Tharston and Weybourne. The building was constructed of white painted brick and weatherboard with a pantile roof.

The Bure has become quite large and powerful by the time it reaches Buxton and with a fall of 6 to 7 feet a considerable amount of power is available. The conventional breastshot waterwheel was changed to a Victor turbine in the 1902 in order to improve efficiency. The turbine, being quite small, revolved at a much faster pace. This avoided the need to introduce several gear wheels, which on larger, slow moving wheels waste considerable power in overcoming friction. In 1965 this turbine was still producing 25% of the mill's power requirements. It had undergone a minor overhaul in 1930 and a major overhaul in the 1960s that would have left it capable of running for the next 40 years.

Water power was used to drive two and sometimes three pairs of millstones, which were in regular use for grinding animal food stuffs. Flour for household use was also produced and biscuit flour was milled using electrically powered roller milling machines.

Thomas Shreeve (1833 -1909) came from Bolwick_watermill and Marsham_postmill and had moved to Buxton. by 1890. Thomas' nephew Charles Robert Shreeve (1854-1932) took over at Bolwick_mill and Marsham_postmill and was possibly still there when his farming business became insolvent in 1897.

Many extensions were made to the mill and its outbuildings were often added to when extensive silos and storage facilities were added to help cope with the higher throughput of the modern mill. The first of these was a 125 ton silo that was added in 1930, followed by a dryer in 1947.

The mill at this time was milling both flour and animal feeds. Later this policy was changed and Buxton was used only for flour milling. The use of lorries to bring in grain by bulk (as opposed to sacks) was significant advance in efficiency and allowed the mill to effectively double its output. In its final years Buxton Mill was producing flour at the rate of 1 ton per hour.


98% of wheat milled was locally grown and Duffields were handling 500 tons of local grain (wheat, barley and oats) between their 3 mills - Buxton, Tharston and Saxlingham Thorpe.

The great floods of 1912 wreaked havoc in Buxton and the surrounding countryside. The flood came at the end of a dismal August. The rain began at 3.00am on Monday 26th August and continued until mid morning on 27th. Brundall recorded the highest total of 8.06" but 7" appears to have fallen in the Buxton area. The Bure overflowed its banks and people had to be rescued from upstairs windows by boat. Animals were drowned, the road to Lammas became a roaring flood and the meadows were one big lake.

Many hay cocks were swept down from the Lammas & Hautbois meadows causing a damming of the river by the narrow Coltishall Bridge. When this gave way the water levels dropped in Buxton.

The wherry Zulu, was trapped in the river Bure while unloading cargo at Aylsham and as the locks were destroyed it was unable to get back down the river and it had to be manhandled across the road near Buxton Mill.

RP - Was 'Zulu' the one that was trapped when the floods came?
CS -"No"
RP - Which one was that? It got caught between here and Buxton, didn't it?
CS - "Yes, - that's right, and I went as a boy, and greased the slides what that keel was on - we took her out of one river, crossed the road into another river, and I was the boy, I had to grease these slides where that keel slide in, you see - she was crossed up, you know, kept upright, and put her out of one river into another 'cause the lock was washed away. And I went there as a boy, and that's the hardest day's work I ever done in my life - carrying them great long pieces of wood, you know,"
CYRIL ("SAM") SPINKS - Aylsham Mill worker for 55 years interviewed by Lynette Rust and
Ron Peabody. Date unknown


In June 1933 the old lock from the Aylsham Navigation, which had been disused since the 1912 flood was filled up and a good road finally opened from Buxton to Lammas.


A Miller's Poem

In the possession of Mr. William Duffield.
Mill described in Conventio Number of 'Milling' for 1931.
Has a capacity of 2 sacks per hour with an extensive grist and provender trade. Wholly water powered.
Duffield took over mill in 1924 - almost derelict, had to fit it, start it up and make his own good-will. In 1926 was running full time with grist and flour. Mill dates back to 1754. It was purely a stone mill. Converted to roller system in the 1890s - original plans bearing the date 14th May 1890. Not known when it stopped working until Mr. Duffield took it.
At 1931 visit, Mr. Duffield had re-flowed the mill and re-designed the power distribution. He then tackled the dressing and scalping, having a Turner sextuple plansifter installed. Shortly after this the Wheat Act was passed, which gave an impulse to home agriculture.
Mr. Duffield prepared for increase in trade by increasing bin space - which was very short. In August 1933 he decided to build a new silo. He found a second hand 10 - bin silo in the North, had it dismantled and brought to Buxton where it arrived in November. The bins are 5ft. square and 22ft high. Local builder employed to erect it on site next to the mill near the bend in the road on a reinforced concrete foundation. Chestnut and spruce trees were felled and trimmed into piles 22ft. long and 11ins. Square. Eleven driven and on them the basement was built beside an unloading platform with a concrete hopper. The bin hoppers were put into position on new steel stanchions and the laminated wood sides erected upon them. The whole was capped with a roof, the sides were covered with Robinson's patent corrugated sheeting, heat-proof and damp-proof, so was the roof; then the interior was equipped with hollow spiral worm conveyors, five double feeders and spouting. Also new Lawrence Scott motors were installed, giving an intake capacity of 60 qtrs. per hour.
The elevator was a problem because of the disparity between the elasticity of it and the silo. This was solved by the use of a flexible coupling. The silo was commissioned in March 1934. It took 5 months to erect a silo capable of holding 4,500 bushels of wheat.
Last year's drought caused problems with the water supply for the mill. Accordingly, in August 1934 a 25h.p. Crossley oil engine was purchased and installed in a separate building alongside the waterway; and here a provender plant was erected. This is now used whenever the water power has to be conserved for the flour mill and for certain other products which necessitate high speeds being used for reduction.
At the 1931 visit transport for short journeys, was by means of horse drawn vehicles, but they have been replaced by another lorry. The stables have been converted to the auxiliary provender mill plant.

Turbine Repaired

The 60-year old American water turbine that operates the mill at Buxton has just been given a new lease of life by an unusual welding repair.
"Siftips," the organ of the Suffolk Iron Foundry, Stowmarket, tells the story.
The Victor turbine cylinder gate was installed in 1902 in W.C. Duffield's flour mill at Buxton - a familiar landmark on the Bure - and had worked continuously apart from a minor overhaul I the 1930s, until it seized up recently. This was thought to be due to corrosion, the turbine being mounted under water.
Closer inspection at the Norwich works of Panks (Castle Hill) Ltd. showed that this was not so but parts of the turbine had suffered excessive and abnormal wear.
The metal was in reasonable condition but had to be built up where the damage had been done to the pedestal mounting plate. After welding repairs the parts had to be machined for retapping and drilling.
The result is that the turbine's life is reckoned to have been extended by 40 years.

Buxton Memories

As a bored 10 year old boy in 1967 during school holidays, I accompanied my late father (Tom Peck) to work at Buxton mill. No health & safety in those days!

I can vividly remember lots of things from those days like the replacement of drive cogs on the turbine wheel. The vertical shaft from the turbine had a helical gear made of steel around 3 feet in diameter which in turn drove a horizontal gear which in turn drove all the pulley shafts in the mill. The horizontal gear teeth I believe, were made of seasoned apple wood which had to be specially made. The old teeth had practically worn through before replacement.

There are three water 'tunnels' running under the mill. One Saturday afternoon during summer, when the mill was stopped and the river was low, my father wound all the sluice gates down at the back of the mill to stop the water flowing altogether (I'm sure the rivers authority would have gone nuts had they have known!) we then donned wellies and walked up the tunnels from the front to see what was up there. Looking from the front of the mill, in the left hand tunnel you could easily see where the old wooden water wheel had marked the wall on each side. At the time I was scared witless, thinking someone would open the sluice gates up. I was assured this would not happen because all the handles were with us at the riverbank! We couldn't see much up the turbine tunnel because the water was too deep.Incidentally, the turbine tunnel looking from the front of the mill is on the right.

To control the speed of the whole mill, a vertical regulator shaft ran from the roller floor down to the turbine itself. The speed would be regulated by turning the wheel clockwise/anticlockwise to regulate the water flow .The shaft speed would be checked by hand held RPM counter. There was an adjuster wheel on the roller floor and also at the turbine unit. There were always spare rollers lying on the floor wrapped in waxed paper ready to be fitted as required. The rollers were very heavy and were lifted up by a special lifting device which winched them up to the correct height.

The mill was adapted to load flour into bulk flour tank trailers during 1967/68/69. The flour was milled and blown into the tank trailer by pneumatic blower. Because production was slow, the haulier had to stand the trailer hooked up for days while being loaded. Crane Fruehauf built the prototype flour tanker for this work and was hauled by Pointer transport of Norwich at first, then Bartrums carried this on later. These lorries were the very first 32 tonners at the time. Bagged flour and 'midds' would be loaded in the covered loading bay at the rear of the mill near the mill house. 'Bran' would be loaded onto flat lorries parked on the bridge at the front of the mill - busses and other lorries could only just squeeze through the gap between the parked lorry and the bridge wall. Bulk wheat was stored in the first half of the warehouse at the back and transported to the grain intake by an old 4 wheel Seddon bulker - pensioned off from the mill at Saxlingham.

The second half of the warehouse was occupied by a Duffield subsidiary called 'Buxton Distributors' - this firm distributed pet foods wholesale throughout east anglia. The old stables which backed onto the river was used as a rest room and toilets when I was there. In the loading bay at the back, a hand crank petrol pump was situated on the right for filling up company vehicles.

The staff comprised of only 3 men and a foreman at the time. The only person's name I can remember from then was a man called Keith Mack from Buxton. The phone number in 1967 was Buxton 337. I used to spend days/weeks exploring every part of the mill then, walking up to the shop to buy fruit pies and crisps at lunchtime etc. I never knew if Duffields management knew or cared if I spent all my spare time there - nothing was ever said to me. It was a part of Duffields that was distanced from the main milling activity and while everything ran OK, they appeared to have left it alone.

Sadly when the mill closed in 1970, everyone was made redundant and my father, due to an accident in 1971, passed away so, this information I've given you is purely from memory.

A 14-month rebuilding programme followed the fire of 1991, using 19th century North American pitched pine salvaged from across Britain. The largest beams, often more than a metric tonne each, came from as far afield as Scotland and Wales.
It was the largest timber-framed reconstruction ever to take place in the UK and enabled architect Keith Reay the opportunity to restore it to its traditional 18th century glory leaving out some of the more recent alterations.

Hotel Scheme Gives Historic Mill New Role
£350,000 project will turn mill into a 19-bedroom hotel and conference centre.
One of Norfolk's best known historic landmarks which was gutted by fire seven years ago is to be given a new lease of life after a £350,000 revamp.
Buxton Mill, which can be traced back to the time of the Norman Conquest, underwent a £1m restoration after the blaze in January 1991 and was subsequently put up for sale at £400,000.
Now the mill, 10 miles north of Norwich, is to be converted into a 19-bedroom hotel complete with conference and function room by business partners Bob Branford and Richard Draycott.
Mr. Branford said: "We identified a need for a local quality conference and function facility that had character, was well managed and friendly. We are confident that the Buxton Mill Hotel will attract both leisure and business users across all our planned facilities.
"The new business will create local employment, both full and part time within the hotel and ensure the building, a well-known and important part of Norfolk's architectural heritage, will thrive and continue to be enjoyed by future generations."
Work is expected to start this month with a view to finishing it in October.The country free house and restaurant operation will stay open for most of the conversion period and will be extended by a conservatory over the River Bure increasing dining capacity to 70 people.
The work will highlight the mill's historical industrial features such as the early 19th century turbine and the huge Hirst metal frame, now incorporated in the bar area.
All public areas will have displays of the history of Buxton Mill and the village of Buxton, creating a heritage centre for locals and tourists.
The development includes a lift to all floors housed in a shaft designed in the style of the original grain silos which previously occupied the same exterior position.
A new car park will be available across from the hotel and architecturally the mill will look much like it did in the 1750s.
Eastern Daily Press - 14th April 1998

Royal date for revamped mill
Historic Buxton Mill, which was gutted by fire in 1991, will be reborn as a hotel next month after a £350,000 conversion and opened by a "royal personage".
The 18th century mill now has a first-floor function suite, a restaurant extension over the River Bure and 14 twin or double bedrooms with river views.
A lift to all floors has been concealed in a shaft designed to look like one of the original grain silos.
Director Bob Branford said: "We still have a little exterior work to do when the weather improves but the Mill is now looking better than it did prior to the disastrous fire of 1991.
"We have designed our facilities to attract both leisure and business users looking for somewhere unique and different. The Mill now offers a range of facilities and services from a quiet drink in the bar to banquets and conferences for up to 100 people.
Mr. Branford was tight-lipped about the identity of the "royal personage" saying all would be revealed closer to the opening.

The Frankling and Pratt families were related by marriage and both were connected with the milling trade.

John Pratt and his brother James were both millers and were possibly working at Buxton. John Pratt married Maria Thaxter in November 1812.

Charles Frankling married Ann Pratt in 1854, who was probably the daughter of James Pratt but Charles died in 1860 at the age of 26. In 1871, their son, Charles Frankling jnr was recorded as working at Buxton mill and living with his grandmother, Ann Pratt in Buxton. However, by 1881 he had moved to work at Costessey mill and was lodging with William Futter and his family

My grandfather was always talking about Buxton Mill, because of the family connection and because he worked for Steward & Patteson's Brewery, which was also in the grain business one way or another.
One day as a small child I persuaded him to take us all to see the mill. Off we went his is Series E Morris 8, and as usual he went "the pretty way" via all the little back roads. It took hours to get any- where with him at the wheel! Especially as it was a rainy day. Unfortunately just as we were approaching the back end of Lammas we ran into some flooded lanes and hit water every way we tried, except the way we had come. So it wasn't until I had a car of my own that I actually got to see the mill.
