Markington
is a small village in the Harrogate District of North Yorkshire,
situated just off the A61 between Ripon and Harrogate. Five miles from
Ripon, Eight miles from Harrogate and two and a half miles from
Fountains Abbey, Mention was made of the village in 937AD, where a mill
was recorded as church property at ‘Mercinga-tun’. There are High and
Low mills but no mention of flax. It is believed that Low mill, situated
in the grounds of Markington Hall, was built by the Wilberforce family
in the early 1800's. Low Mill was a fully working water mill; It
predominantly produced animal feed for the local area with the water
being supplied by a mill race split off from Markington beck. The
original water wheel and workings remain virtually untouched. Water
supplying the water mill was controlled by a sluice gate located to the
rear of the smaller building. A further sluice gate was situated to the
rear of Markington institute at the head of the mill race where it split
off from the main stream.

other seals awaiting update

Seals Mark 10 & 24 have an unusual crescent
shape
under the date.
It is really the flukes of a ship's anchor
wherein the Christian Growers/Owners of the flax or hemp anchored their
faith in Jesus Christ. It has nothing to do with Islam. So
initial D.H. Grower, Owner or Agent of the seal was an Orthodox Christian, but not
perhaps the Port Inspector.
