Donnington Mill was perhaps one of the mills of Broadwell Manor,which dated back to 1291.In the 16th century it was used as a cloth mill which the Lord of the Manor of Donnington rebuilt and converted into two corn mills circa 1580. However,early in the 17th century the mill became a seperate freehold estate,and in 1827 the buildings were bought by Thomas Arkell,whose descendant Richard Arkell started a brewery there in 1865.The brewery flourishes today,has been owned and run by the Arkell family ever since. The brewery maintains 15 public houses and brews three draught beers,two bitters and a mild,as well as three bottled beers,Light,Brown and Double Donn which is simply referred to as a little stronger.
