Hazeland Mill

Hazeland first appears as “Haselholt” meaning Hazel Wood in the 13th century when it was part of the extensive landholdings of the monks of Malmesbury Abbey. After the Dissolution of the Monastries, Hazeland Mill, a number of other mills and numerous manors and farms were acquired by Sir Edward Bayntun of Bromham in 1540. Sir Edward was a soldier and a courtier who used his close relationship with Henry VIII to accumulate significant landholdings in Wiltshire.
