K.H. Rogers, in Wiltshire And Somerset Woollen Mills, published by the Pasold Research Fund Ltd., in 1976, noted:
Wilton: Crow Lane Mill
In the Labourers’ Revolt of 1830 a mob of 500 men destroyed this mill with carding and other machinery, the property of John Brasher. Some time afterwards the site was occupied by William Naish, a woollen cord manufacturer, whose business is said to have begun c.1800. In the middle of the century Naish turned over to making felt, and the mill is still used by the firm of E.V. Naish and Co. for making a wide range of felts for pianos and many industrial purposes.
Most of the buildings on the site are modern, but one two-storeyed brick range with stone windows of standard design remains. It probably dates from the reinstatement of the mill after 1830.
