Gazeley Mill was built in 1837 by William Death, replacing a nearby post mill.[1] The mill drove five pairs of millstones.[2] A Gippeswyck oil engine was installed by Turners, the Sohammillwrights in 1880. In 1893, a one-and-a-half-sack[3] roller mill made by Messrs E R & F Turner of Ipswich was installed. This was driven by the oil engine,[1] which could also drive three of the five pairs of millstones.[2] The mill ceased work c.1920 and was stripped of machinery and house converted in 1947.[4]
