The paper offers a preliminary outline of the grain milling industry in England between 1540 and 1800, drawing on a sample of 1050 mills that were involved in Exchequer litigation between 1550 and 1770, supplemented by other material. It argues that there were broad continuities in the milling industry down to 1650, but thereafter structural change in the economy, accompanied by changes in market practices and distribution, supported and prompted new approaches to the business of milling. These changes prepared the way for more rapid technological change in the nineteenth century after a very long period of ‘conservative innovation’. https://cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/87868951671?pwd=tE7MMELb0CdolmR1HtO5hi2oyZQU1d.1
