A Domesday mill is recorded in Haversham. In the 1870s Robert Adams worked the mill, followed in succession by W G Perry and John Carr. In Robert Adams time, a large breast wheel drove the mill, but John Carr replaced the wheel with a smaller one. By the 1930s the fine brick mill building was standing empty and forlorn beside the renovated mill cottage.
