History

A Priston Mill was granted by the king to the monks of Bath Abbey in 931, though the current structure dates from the 18th century. It is powered by a 25-foot (8 m) overshot water wheel and is maintained in working condition.[3]

Tithe barn

Priston Mill also has a tithe barn that was created in the late 18th to 19th century.[3] Like the mill itself, the barn is Grade II listed.[4]
