Scottow had a post windmill that was working during the 1200s and it was either rebuilt or a new mill was built and working by 1631. However, no further records have come to light since 1655.

This manor had free-warren, assize of bread and beer, a manor-house, windmill and fishery and was worth £11. 7s. per annum in 1282.
