Notes for Richard Peacock: In the Middle Ages many mills which cannot be identified were mentioned as being in Stanwell. None of them belonged to the lord of Stanwell manor. (Footnote 25) One of them was held successively by Richard Peacock and his son John in the 14th century; 'Peacock's mill' was in existence in the early 17th century. (Footnote 26) A second mill was acquired in the 15th century by Richard Bulstrode, (Footnote 27) and a mill was attached to Edward Bulstrode's estates in 1598. (Footnote 28)
