In 1790 John Corrall, a journeyman papermaker, was one of the eleven men who were indicted for threatening to strike if their wages were not increased by a shilling a week. Poor John, married that same year, died only two years later, in 1792.
For well over 800 years, until about 1911, one of the fundamental trades of any community -- the grinding of grain -- was carried on at the Manor mills at Mill Green, This was not the only trade carried on at Mill Green however, for here also was Hatfield's papermaking industry.
The clockmaking business of William Burgess (1822-1890) and of his son was well-known in Hatfield until sold in the 1920s, and many a Burgess timepiece is still is use [1964]. The town has in fact supported the clock and watch-making trade from at least the 18th century; part of the craftsman's work no doubt was to look after the clocks at the Great House. In the early 1700s the inventory of Samuel Hare, the Batterdale maltster (died 1723), informs us that he possessed a clock which was kept in the parlour (at Batterdale House), but the whole of the furnishings of this room, including the clock, only amounted to £1 12s. 0d. probate value.
The paper-mill [Creswick's mill] with the corn-mills, and the many farms in the neighbourhood of Mill Green were, no doubt, the reason for Joseph |Starkey setting up his smith's shop here.
In 1638 the Earl of Salisbury leased all the mills at Mill Green to Edward Arris, a London surgeon, who sub-leased the fulling mill to one Thomas Frewen.
In 1726 Joseph Bigg from Great Munden took the lease of Hatfield Mill at a rent of £55. He was allowed a year's rent for repairs, but was to pay for the mill stones and gears then in the mill which had belonged to the previous lessee, Joseph Huntman. He was not to take from the river any trout, eels or other fish. ... Four generations of the family held the mill until about 1824.
About 1796 Vallance took over the Pickford Mill, a few miles up the Lea, at Harpenden, letting the Hatfield mill to Thomas Creswick.
