About
The first mention of a mill on the River Tas at Stoke Holy Cross dates from the 14th century. The present building was used in the 18th century as a paper mill and then, from the 1780s, as a flour and mustard mill.
In 1814 Jeremiah Colman bought the business, leased the mill and adjacent buildings, and decided to focus on mustard- and flour-milling. His family were lodged in the Mill House next door, and all were involved with the hands-on work.
When the business outgrew the site, Jeremiah purchased land at Carrow in Norwich. The move was begun in 1854 and completed in 1862, when the lease of the Stoke mill expired.
