A brief note on the history of the Mill:
There has been a mill in West Burton since doomsday times (1086). With its dramatic setting next to Cauldron falls, William Turner painted this Waterfall in the summer of 1816 on his Northern tour of England. He named these falls as one of his favourites due to the beautiful setting and the veil like quality of the water as it cascades over a hollowed out ledge. It is possible to walk behind the waterfall which he thought was delightful.
The remains of the weir used by the Mill race can still be seen in front of the falls creating a natural swimming pool. An old packhorse bridge by the Mill adds to the charm of the setting.
West Burton has remained largely unchanged through the centuries with the same expansive village green, which still has an 18th century Market Cross, 13th century stocks and (a slightly newer) playground! There is no through road which adds to its peaceful and unspoilt atmosphere.
The present Mill has adapted through the centuries. It was substantially enlarged in 1825 and continued to mill corn until the 1920's. Also during this time the Mill building housed the Wensleydale Cheese Cooperative which was established to help local farmers' wives with production and sale of their cheese. There is a cheese stone in the garden dating back to these times.
