 From about 1715 Nuthurst Mill became a watermill for corn, still working in 1937 although not waterpowered.The mill became derelict soon after 1937, and its remains were standing until at least 1956, after which they were demolished.A second parish watermill in Copsale is shown on an 1840s OS map; demolished before 1981 after ceasing to operate by 1896.
