Find now with Norfolk Mills Trust.
[1] reports that [2] states this was the site of a bridge 'high enough to hang a man from' which collapsed. Rubble was brought from the farm in Post Office Lane and a ruined bakery in Little London to fill up the hole, so the millstone could have come from any of these.
