Hoveringham Mill on the Dover Beck.  The Beck was the southern boundary of Sherwood Forest from the 13th century.  The river rises near the village of Blidworth in the heart of the forest and flows southeast to join the River Trent near Caythorpe.  The mill was one of eleven on the Dover Beck: Salterford Mill, Oxton Mill, Epperstone Mill, Woodborough Mill, The Paper Mill, Carby’s Mill, Parkinson’s Pit, The Lord’s Mill, Cliff Mill, Hoveringham Mill and Caythorpe Mill.  See Mills on the Doverbeck by W A James for more information.
