The mill is located on the north side of a pre-turnpike stretch of the A44 road. There is documentary evidence for the medieval origins of Haine's Mill. The tenant in 1481 was one Morris Draper, succedded in 1508 by Thomas Davis, and then by Anne Griffiths and her sone who held it from 1534. The mill was cited in Letters Patent renewing the charter of New Radnor in 1642 (1).
