The fulling mill lay where the road crosses the river via a ford about a mile above Corpusty water cornmill. It also lay about a quarter mile south west (downstream) of the Tan Office. The fulling mill would have predated the tanning mill as clean water is essential for fulling cloth and the tanning mill produced considerable quantiities of filthy and polluted water.

A few mills in the county were adapted to become involved with fulling cloth. The hammering system was noisy and relentless.
Watermills that were at one time used for fulling cloth included Costessey, Hellesdon, Horstead, New_Mills, West Newton and of course Saxthorpe Fullmill.

Newly woven cloth was washed, pressed and kneaded. Originally it was put in a trough and trodden. Later it was mechanically beaten by wooden hammers, geared to a wheel, which clobbered the cloth. Fuller's earth was used to mat the cloth and give it body and at the same time remove the grease from the newly woven cloth.

I well remember many a summer afternoon spent playing in the pipes under the road and tickling trout that lay under the down stream ends.

My husband's ancestor, John Grand, bapt 1820, is shown living there in the 1851 census, though his occupation is Agricultural Labourer. In 1861 they are listed as living at the Old Fulling Mill, and by 1871 had moved to Row House, Corpusty.
