== Park Mill == [[File:Park Mill, Bateman's - geograph.org.uk - 1412564.jpg|right|thumb|Park Mill]] There is a [[water mill]] on the estate, powered by water from the River Dudwell. The earliest reference to a mill relates to its construction between 1246 and 1248, and first mentioned with the name 'Park' in 1618. The present mill was built between 1751 and 1753, and extended in the 1830s. It became part of the Bateman's estate in the late 19th century.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2020|p=3}} By Kipling's time, the mill was no longer in operation and he installed an electric turbine in it to provide power for the house.{{sfn|Antram|Pevsner|2013|p=295}} The mill was restored by the Trust in 1975,{{sfn|Antram|Pevsner|2013|p=295}} and again between 2017 and 2020.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2020|p=3}} The mill is itself [[Grade II listed]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1352936?section=official-list-entry|title=Historic England List Entry 1352936|access-date=18 March 2022}}</ref>
