About Hinxton Watermill
The corn mill on the River Cam at Hinxton is built on a very old site which is probably the one mentioned in the Domesday Survey in 1085 as being “worth 8 shillings”. The present building was constructed in the 17th century, whilst the adjoining cottage was built in the 18th century; an inscribed date of 1766 was found during repair work in the 1980s.
