What is recorded here
This white commemorative plaque records: There has been a mill on this site since the 12th century. The medieval mill took its name from Segrim's Fount, a stream diverted in 1360 to increase power. Segrim's was the City's principal grain mill. The existing structure was built in 1885 at the head of the canal known as the Itchen Navigation. Recorded plaque organisation: Winchester City Council.
Segrim's Mill has operated on this site since the 12th century, serving as the principal grain mill for the City and demonstrating the enduring importance of water power in medieval and later industrial processes. The current structure, built in 1885, stands at the head of the Itchen Navigation canal, reflecting adaptations to changing milling technologies and transportation needs over centuries.
