The moat round the priory was formed by damming the [[River Cuckmere]] and the watermill is fed by the moat.{{sfn|Cooper|1853|p=158}} A [[watermill]] is mentioned at Michelham Priory as early as c.1260,{{sfn|Salzmann|1901|p=216}} In 1411 it was held by Robert de Blachington from [[William de Wrotham]] and his wife Joan de Kelle.{{sfn|Salzmann|1901|p=202}} In 1478, the priory owned two mills, which were both reported to be "in ruins".{{sfn|Salzmann|1901|p=230}} At the time the priory was dissolved, the mill produced an annual profit of [[£sd|53s 3d]].{{sfn|Salzmann|1901|p=244}}
The mill was restored to working order in 1972, new machinery and a new breastshot wooden waterwheel being fitted. The mill is a Grade II listed building.<ref name=Watermill>{{cite web |url=http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1043323&resourceID=5 |title=PRIORY MILL |publisher=Heritagegateway |access-date=13 June 2016}}</ref>{{sfn|Stidder|Smith|1997|p=73}} In 1996, the waterwheel was rebuilt and other machinery repaired or replaced as necessary. The work was partly funded by a £42,000 grant from the [[National Lottery (United Kingdom)|National Lottery]].{{sfn|Stidder|Smith|1997|p=73}}
