Newcombe's Mill was built in 1692 by Thomas Gardner, millwright. During the 18th century, it acted as a grist and leather mill. Shortly before 1804, it was rebuilt as a cloth mill by Thomas Newcombe. It was renamed Sandys’ Mill in the 1853 when occupied by a family of that name. Apart from a brief period around 1901 when it was an ironworks, it remained in the cloth trade.
In 1922 it was occupied by woollen merchants Apperley, Bidlake and Co.
It was occupied by the Cotswold Upholstery Company in 1939, but soon after practically destroyed by fire.
