K.H. Rogers, in Wiltshire And Somerset Woollen Mills, published by the Pasold Research Fund Ltd., in 1976, noted:
Sutton Veny: Mount Mill
This was used as a fulling mill by 1469, when it belonged to the Hungerford family. In the later sixteenth century, it was occupied by Thomas Ashlock and Geoffrey Hawkins, both clothiers, successively. Later occupiers were Thomas Cooke (died c.1610) and Philip Bishop (died c.1718), both described as fullers.
The mill was advertised for sale in 1759, with a good house and trout fishery, and again in 1765, when it had two stocks and room to work a third. The ownership probably passed at this time to the Benett family of Norton Bavant, from whom it was held by the Everetts, clothiers of Heytesbury. It was still in use in 1831, and may have continued until the end of Joseph Everett’s business in 1846. In 1849 it was empty, and had apparently been pulled down by 1861.
