East Wretham watermill ceased working possibly as early as c.1845 and very little appears to be known of it. The wheel was on the gable end wall and was possibly external. The main walls are some two feet thick and incline inwards.

The room to the inside of the gable wall has a heavy beam with redundant joints and was almost almost certainly used to support machinery. The next room along contains ovens that are larger than would have been built for domestic use and it thus appears that the establishment was probably run as a mill and bakery.

It would appear that the mill, having remained unused for some time, was converted into a house by Frank Brown who ran the village shop.
