Rigg Mill, Whitby

Rigg Mill, Whitby

On the site of a Water Mill since the 11th century, The earliest mention in medieval times is an account of a dispute between the Abbot of Whitby owner of the land, and Sir Alexander de Percy tenant in 1316. The mill situated in Larpool woods was rebuilt several times. In 1829 the Miller was William Hill. Can any one tell us when the Mill was last in use.
