Throop Mill

One of the main characteristics of modern day Throop is the watermill referred to as “Throop Mill”. The watermill in Throop village has been present in some regard from the 12th century passing through various ownership's including monks from Quarr Abbey and was mentioned in the

Domesday Book it has often been said that it is haunted by the monks and sometimes tormented children with no faces there laughter and cries are said to fill the cold night air with a chilling fear,not surprisingly despite many attempts to reopen, the mill remains closed to the public. It has been suggested by the local council to turn the site into tea rooms.

The mill has four floors most of which are believed to be rotten.:-)
