King's Mill is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The watermill was built in the late 18th century, to grind corn. Its wheel was driven by the River Derwent. It suffered a serious fire, and was largely rebuilt in 1802. Between 1846 and 1848, it was extended, to a design by J. P.
