Tutsham Mill, also known as West Farleigh Oil Mill, is situated at Teston Lock on the River Medway. It was a water-powered oil seed cake mill, originally of the 19th century. John Rennie is reputed to have built it in 1808. The first known operators were Startup and Philpott from about 1839 onwards. In 1847 the mill was taken over by Thomas Boorman. It became Boorman, Wild and Co., operated by Robert Manning Hayman in 1862. Robert Leigh of Barham Court installed Anglo Machinery for a short while. It was leased by the Stewart Brothers from 1882 and by Spencer of Strood from 1884 to 1885. The mill was partly destroyed by fire in 1889 and is now ivy-covered ruins, which are still visible.
