The original mill belonged to Reading Abbey, whose monks are believed to have created the Holy Brook as a water supply to this and other mills owned by them.^[1]

Between 1876 and 1928 the GWR operated a siding serving the mill which was shunted by a horse.^[2]

In 1966, the mill, then owned by Calcot Flour Mills, was badly damaged by fire.^[3] Since then the building has been converted to apartments.
