1900s
In the 1930s, the mill was a very busy place, was active into the early twentieth century. It pressed apples from 1915, ground corn into the 1930s and pumped water until the 1940s, when a water tower was built to supply the village. It served the local community, pumping water to a reservoir behind the Red Lion pub for Monday wash day. This stopped in the 1940s when the water tower was built.
In 1944, the Killerton estate, including the mill was left to the National Trust by Sir Richard Acland for the benefit of the nation.
