Agents note: The Old Mill is sited at the start of “Wolsey Walk”, named after Cardinal Wolsey and it is reported that the famous “Humpty Dumpty” nursery rhyme was created when Cardinal Wolsey attempted to board the royal barge at the foot of The Old Mill’s front garden on the river deck. The Cardinal bumped his head as he joined the barge and sadly died en route to London.
