A Brief History of Mill House Farm
We do not know how long there a has been a farm at Rishworth Mill. The earliest record is when a Richard Rawnsley, the Corn Miller, left the residue of his lease there to his wife and family in May 1601.
In 1715 William Proctor leased the Mill and Farm from Sir George Savile. In 1835, John Wheelwright, the first Trustee of Rishworth Grammar School took up residence at Mill House farming the land and becoming the corn miller. Eventually buying the property in 1761.
The Wheelwrights sold up in 1948 to John Crossley and sons Ltd. The Taylors moved to the farm in 1957, first renting and eventually buying in 1986.
The farm has just over 40 acres of land and all the fields are named individually. A few examples are: Shoulder of Mutton Clough, Shrog, Bullister and Megs Carr Holme.
Originally the Taylors had dairy cows but the milk tanker pulled out of the farmyard for the last time in 1987 and since then they have only had beef cattle.
Mill House Farm now supply firewood, log burners and associated products and services to Yorkshire and the UK,. The is headed up by Adam Taylor.
