Summary
Kings Mill, a post medieval water mill, is recorded in a document in the 16th century. This may be the site of the mill. Kings Mill may be the same as Guist Mill which was recorded in 1434 (NHER 16313). There is a cast iron bridge across the river at this site which was made by the James Mangles Turner Foundry in Norwich between 1852 and 1854.
