The River Ainse (or Eyn) is a small river in the County of Norfolk. It is a tributary of the River Wensum which it merges with at Lenwade[1]. The River Ainse has several tributaries also.
Eade's Watermill
There is one watermill on the river at Great Witchingham which is known as Eade’s Mill[2]. The mill was built in 1666. Until 1948 the waterwheel was still in working order but by 1972 the watermill was being used as a hammer mill to grind up pig meal and was powered by electricity. Today the watermill and its surrounding buildings are listed.
