Bulkeley Mill(s). The references include Mulnehurst, Mol de Bulkylegh, Bulkeley Milnes and "The Mill Hole" (1690). Field names (see 2) suggest that the site was on the south side of the Wrexham to Nantwich road (A534), not at the present mill (TA fields 139 Mill Meadow, and 149 and 152 Mill Holes).

Fields 149 and 152 Mill Hole, 150 Back of Pool, 156 Old Pool, and 157 Bank, may suggest the location of the mill at approximately SJ 5334 5442.
