Description:St. Thomas' Mill was built on the site of a medieval priory which was dedicated to St. Thomas Becket. The priory was broken up during the Dissolution.
In 1765 the property passed to the ancestors of the Earl of Talbot and formed part of the Shrewsbury Estate. The buildings were used for several years by cotton spinners, followed by a corn-milling business. The mill was powered by a water-wheel.
Today the site is occupied by a farm. Existing fragments of the old priory include sections of walling, the lower courses of the cloisters, part of the kitchen and the site of the burial ground. The old stonework was so well constructed it was incorporated into the farm buildings, thereby preserving the remains of the priory.
