Abstract:		 There has probably been a mill at Mortimer''s Cross since the 15th century when, during the Battle of Mortimer''s Cross (1461), troops of Edward Earl of March retreated over a weir to the north of the cross-roads. Although weirs were used to trap fish the majority of weirs on the Lugg were associated with mills. At least two mills operated below the weir at Mortimer''s Cross; a paper mill and a corn mill. The only existing mill building is a small post-medieval corn mill that survives in a complete and working state. In 2007 floods on the river damaged 2 of the 3 sluice gates that control the flow of water into the mill leat while the third gate was left to bear the full brunt of the water flow. Because of the damage to the gates a schedule of works was established for their repair. Included in the works was a detailed drawn and photographic survey of the affected sluices to inform the design for the repair and replacement of the timbers and the refitting of fixtures and sluice machinery.
