The history of Miller

Millers stood between famine and plenty — taking their toll in grist while neighbours whispered they touched the flour sacks twice. Chaucer's **reeve** was a miller too proud; real millers negotiated floods, frozen millponds and jealous lordships. The name clusters along Yorkshire rivers and Northumberland burns where every valley had its wheel.
