Sir Piers Edgcumbe of Stonehouse was able to build two mills and a new bridge c1525. This bridge with it’s mills was built alongside an ancient causeway that used to link across the creek in the past. The mills would process grain for the making of bread and beer. The mills Were still going when in 1807 a toll gate with lodge was installed, much to the annoyance of the locals! By the early 1900s both The mill and toll gate had gone.
