Description:Now fully refurbished and carrying a Grade 2 listing this is the only surviving working Mill in the Moddershall Valley.
Mosty Lea Mill was probably in existence before 1716, when Stephen Townsend, a Stafford dyer, purchased the site for use as a fulling mill.
In 1756, John and Ralph Baddeley acquired it and rebuilt parts in order to grind flint for the pottery industry. The mill finally ceased production in 1962.
Today, Mosty Lea is the only remaining one of the Moddershall Valley mills where all the processes involved in grinding can still be seen, together with its water wheel, gears, pit wheel and grinding pan.
