The Mill was first recorded in the Doomsday book and was valued at 5 shillings in 1086. It is believed that the present Mill was built in the 16th Century. From 1904, it was one of the few mills regularly producing flour using stones driven by a turbine. The Spencer family owned the Mill in 1872 until the mid 1960's when production ceased. In its hey day it produced some 100 tons of flour a week and employed 16 men. In 1979 the Mill was bought by the Gray family from Devon, who then restored it to a working mill, producing about half a tonne of stone ground flour a week and supplying local bakeries, including Becketts Farm Shop at Wythall and Rima Pattiserie in Solihull and opening the Mill to the public for afternoon teas and cakes.

From the lane there is a driveway through to a communal parking area which has a pathway leading to the main building, Race View is situated in front of you and access is gained via a hardwood entrance door to
