Pakenham Mill - Credit: John Rushbrook/citizenside.com We unearth the history of more of the county s most ancient landmarks and places. Pakenham s current mill has been stood for over two centuries - Credit: Archant Suffolk’s oldest flour mill   Head to Pakenham in the west of the county and there you will find Suffolk’s oldest surviving flour mill. While it is thought a watermill has been in the village for almost 1,000 years, the mill that stands today was built in 1780.  The 17th, 18th and 19th centuries saw the decline of mills across the country – but Pakenham’s remained. This was due in part to its good water supply,  machinery and the last two millers who worked there, Bryan Marriage and Walter Hitchcock. Marriage, who bought the mill in 1930, managed to keep it working commercially until 1974.
