History

Langstone Mill was built around 1730. [2] It worked in conjunction with a tide mill close by. [3] The mill was derelict in 1934. [4] By 1939 it had been converted to residential accommodation, with the tower tarred and a new cap constructed. [3] The conversion was to a design by Ernst L. Freud with the first resident being Flora Twort. [5]
