Tuddenham Mill. The current mill was designed and built in 1775 by Collins Millwrights of Melton, and its production capacity increased in 1855, when the 53-foot chimney was installed to accommodate a steam engine which drove three further sets of grindstones. The Mill continued grinding for another hundred years, when it finally became derelict. The mill was rescued in 1972 when it was converted into a restaurant.
