Rooksbury Mill, Grade II listed watermill in Andover, England
Rooksbury Mill stands across the River Anton, featuring two lakes created after World War II through extensive gravel extraction operations.
The current mill structure dates from the late 16th or early 17th century, possibly connecting to one of eleven mills documented in the 1089 Domesday Book.
The site includes areas of wet woodland, chalk grassland, lakes, and riverbank environments that support local wildlife preservation efforts.
Located near the A303 and south of Andover center, the mill operates as a Local Nature Reserve with annual Green Flag status since 2009.
In 1812, lightning struck the mill's barn, causing a fire that instantly destroyed a cart and temporarily blinded one of two men seeking shelter nearby.
