Dating from the 12th century, this Grade I listed building in the lower part of West Harnham has details around its doors and windows from 1250.
The building was converted in the 16th century from ecclesiastical use to Wiltshire's first paper mill, when the River Nadder was diverted to flow under it.

In the early twentieth century, the property was converted into a country club by Mary Fox-Pitt, daughter-in-law of Augustus Pitt Rivers.
The atmosphere was praised by the food writer Florence White, author of Good Things in England (1932).
She quotes the artist Augustus John saying "It is the best cookery in England."

The building is now a hotel and the mill race can still be seen from its restaurant.
