I have discovered that My Great Grandfather Thomas Calver b. 1829 of Burnham Thorpe d.1884 left a widow who was Susan Bobbin b.1839 of Burnham Thorpe until they married there in 1871. Soon after her husband Thomas Calver died, Susan Calver re-married a Widower: William Bell. They moved into Mill House Farm, Stanhoe (now Mill House) with her children: my Grandfather Thomas Henry Calver (16) Ethel Calver (15); Harcourt Calver (12) and Clarence J Calver (11). In 1896 my Grandfather Thomas Henry Calver Edith Amelia Riches of Burnham Overy and they moved into Farm at Station Farm, Stanhoe

Rosemary Brown lived in the Mill House during the 1950s, her grandparents having bought the house in the 1930s. They knew the mill had been close to the house but never discovered its exact location. |
Mrs. G. Beckett of Stanhoe wrote to Harry Apling on 1st May 1984 to say the mill stood just behind a barn on the south side of the property. |
