Brampton Mill, Bromholme Lane, Brampton

William Howcutt (1765-1813) and Anne Franklin were both living at Brampton, near Huntingdon, when they married there in 1792. William was described as a miller when their children, Charles and Elizabeth, were christened there in 1792 and 1794. It is not known how long he remained at Brampton after Anne was buried there in 1795, but William had returned to Brixworth by the time of his death.  

The 1773 Enclosure Map for Brampton only shows one mill in the parish - next to the River Ouse at the end of Bromholme Lane; it was at the same place as the only mill on the 1885 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. The building has been extended but one part has a stone inscribed with the date "1774" let into the wall. Some of the property is now used as a restaurant.
