Taken from Leigh Alstons article
on "Wind and Watermills"
Tany Manor and Park can be recorded as far back as circa 1300.
There were many Watermills recorded along the stretch of Assington
Brook.
Moat Farm may well have been the site of site of such a device
Assington Brook may possibly have dried up during the summer months
and then it would have been known as a "Winter Mill"
However, this is speculation but a possibility.
