Church Mill and Millhouse stand in one of the quiet corners of Towcester. The old part of the mill, disused for many years, bears the date 1799 and with the Mint House in Park Street is virtually all that remains of evidence of the trades and callings of previous times. Long gone are the lace makers, iron workers,farriers and leather workers of Towcester. A mill stood on this site when Domesday was recorded. The present building, badly damaged by fire in 1911, still fills a useful purpose housing high technology businesses. [in 1986 it was used as workshop and showroom for dealers in antique furniture.]
