What is recorded here
The Mill in Croom may have its medieval predecessor underneath it. Other mills handed the business down; this one seems to have put a ceiling over the father before he could explain how he’d have done it.
Croom Mill was described in the Urban Survey of Limerick as following; 'A mill is recorded in the 17th century (Westropp 1906-7, 166) and it is likely that the late medieval mill stood on the site of the mill which is still in use today on the west bank of the Maigue' (Bradley et. al. 1989, 119).
