Kings Mill, Grade II listed watermill in Stamford, England
Description
Kings Mill is a Grade II listed watermill located at the lower end of St Peter's Vale near Bath Row. The structure now contains residential apartments and the King's Mill Centre, which provides office space for several businesses.
History
A mill has stood on this site since at least the time of the Domesday survey, indicating its long importance to the area. The name Kings Mill dates back to the reign of King John in the 13th century.
Culture
The mill served as a workplace where local grain was processed using water power, and this function shaped how people in the town viewed the site for centuries.
Practical
The mill sits at the edge of town where you can easily explore the waterway and surrounding meadows on foot. A walk along Melancholy Walk offers views across the upper meadows and is accessible year-round.
Did you know?
The millstream creates a natural boundary between the town and the meadows, and a footpath called Melancholy Walk follows this water's edge. The path's name hints at the reflective mood the location once inspired in those who walked there.
