Notes | Leased mill from Thomas Blatherwick at some point post 1794; he then leased it to John Stoneham. Stoneham eventually returned mill to Caplin - by 1810 had become owner of the property under the lord at the Court Baron1813. Ran mill himself for 2 years before employing grinder. Tried to sell mill in 1824 and 1825. 1822-7. In 1829 moved to Lavant, remaining as owner. Continued leasing mill out and was still owner until 1838. |
