Aslacton
postmill |
Aslacton post mill probably stood in Mill Lane at Mill House Farm, just to the north of Mill Farm House. The mill had gone by 1834 when it was replaced by a towermill. |
Whereas James Gook, Miller at Aslacton in the county of Norfolk made an elopement from his Wife the last Day of March, 1751 and has taken the Wife of John Jelley with him and three Children... the husband of this M. Jelley is in Gaol and has been there for two Years past... If any Person will give intelligence of this Man and Woman to his Wife at Aslacton so that she can talk with them, shall have reasonable Charges and a sufficient Reward from their humble Servant. |
