Sole contributor (User:Varnisher) has declared as having a WP:COI. I don't see anything notable about this. Seems to be Run-of-the-mill (Pun ABSOLUTELY intended....). Seriously though, doesn't seem notable to me. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:44, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

 * A real keeper if it is what is says it is. It should be a Listed building, mentioned in the Domesday Book, first mill to use the Fourdrinier paper machine - the most important technical innovation in paper before wood pulp. Yes, I'll check this out - it's just bare bones now, but if even a third of this checks out it's a definite keep. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 03:12, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Update - thanks for the links below. The mill's website is almost too good, e.g.  (click on the 8 subheadings for more full pages).  It's too good in that we'd like to have independent sources, but presumably we'll find those. That said the Domesday Book looks like an exaggeration, and my guess that it's a listed building fails (presumably because the mill was updated and rebuilt during its long history).  So it looks like a fixer-upper as well as a keeper. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 13:37, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep There's a nice profile here that could be incorporated into the article. Looks like it has enough historical significance to meet WP:NBUILD. PohranicniStraze (talk) 06:06, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Easily passes WP:GNG, e.g. Frogmore Mill. Andrew D. (talk) 06:51, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Verified in reliable sources as the oldest working paper mill in the world. Need I say more? I expanded the article a bit and dropped in a few sources. Who's for a DYK? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  19:28, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
