Assington Mill lies in one of Suffolk’s secret valleys. This is the most likely site for the mill mentioned in the Domesday Book, and again in historic records for 1588. The former watermill stopped working in 1868 when the squire “took the water for his own purposes”, and the miller was forced to acquire a second-hand windmill, which came from Sudbury. The farm now consists of 10 semi-derelict buildings, and 86 acres of farmland. The buildings are being restored one by one at the moment.
