Much of the stone to build the priory was brought in from Northamptonshire on flat bottomed barges towed up the River Stiffkey, which was navigable to Brooker's Dock on the opposite side of the priory to the mill. |
|
Bishop Warner, who owned the mill in the 1600s did not have an heir and left the estate to his nephew (? Lee) on the understanding that the Warner name was retained. Thus the new family name became Lee Warner. |
