Millers At Penruddock
A Memory of Penruddock.
The Robinson family had a long connection with Penruddock and the Neighbouring village of Motherby. My third gt grandfather, William Robinson was miller at Hutton Mill from about 1810 before moving to Greystoke Mill, and was succeeded by his son John, who continued to mill and farm there until about 1890.
I remember Penruddock from around 1952 to the present day - what is now the Herdwick Inn used to be the Norfolk Arms, and was run by the Porteous family.
The Porter family were farmers and one (Mary Ann) married the John Robinson mentioned above. They had 6 children - my gt grandmother Zerinah married Charles Sumner, and eventually moved back to Attorneygarth in Motherby.
