History of Christchurch

Recording the history of the village of Christchurch (originally Brimstone Hill) in Cambridgeshire

WEBB’S MILL

Webb’s Mill was a corn mill (one of two within the parish) located in Poulters Drove.

In the 1861 Census a miller, John Drake, living down Poulter’s Drove, is recorded, and some of the older inhabitants of the village remember the mill as Webb’s Mill. [1]

In Kelly’s Directory of 1892, a Joseph Webb, miller, is listed. [1]

I can find no records of the corn mill at Poulters Drove, except that it was finally demolished about 1952. [1]
