Temple Mills history

---

Temple Mills were water mills belonging to the Knights Templar, used mainly for grinding corn from their extensive lands in Homerton and the Marshes. During the 17th century and 18th century, the former Templar mills were used for a variety of industrial purposes. Gunpowder production at the mills led to a tragedy on the night before Easter 1690, when Peter Pain was blown up together with two of the mills, three stone houses, and a vast quantity of gunpowder manufactured by him for the government.
