Milborne Wick

In 1087, at the time of the Domesday survey, Milborne is recorded as possessing no less than six mills along the little river Gascoinge. They served the woollen, flax and hosiery industries which were the mainstay of the medeival village's economy and contributed greatly to its prosperity which earned it the status of a borough.

The origins of the first part of the name of the village, 'Milborne', are derived from the combination of 'mill' and 'bourne' (meaning stream or torrent).

The mill at Kingsbury, on the eastern side of Milborne Port still survives, as does that at Milborne Wick (a small hamlet upstream and to the north of Newtown).
