///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
THOMAS PRIEST bp 14.04.1826 inherited the farms of his elder brother and father and so became the owner Ickleford Mill, Hide Mill & Pound Farm. It seems likely that the Priest family acquired Pound Farm by being related to the freeholder William Smith in the 18th century.. Thomas's Dad was a farmer, miller and malster.
From the school Rate Book 1883 and the Overseers Rate Book 1897 he was the largest landowner and richest person in the village.
A bachelor he built Ickleford Bury in 1882. replacing Dove House. Ickleford Bury was a large mansion for one man. He had the reputation of being an austere man but very kind and generous. He was remembered with affection in particularly because he arranged the best consultations with Doctors from Harley Street for the chronically sick. These included the famous orthopaedic surgeon, John Barker, who came to Ickleford on may occasions to treat the children and some adults in the buildings of Pound Farm long before the facilities of the National Health Service were in existence.
Thomas was a member of the Board of Managers of the village school in 1883 when the school faced a crisis with the death of the squire and additional subscriptions had to be raised.
Thomas was responsible in having the water main from Hitchin extended to the village. He endowed a new church on a housing estate at Hitchin which we believe is now St Paul's. In his lifetime and by his will he gave a lot of money to missionary work and to providing thousands of Bibles through the Bible Society. In 1912 he donated the Ickleford Parish Church a new organ.
His mode of washing was a kind of shower. He stood in the middle of a room with a drain in the centre naked and servants threw buckets of water at and over him. Into his 80's he reluctantly agreed to having a bath installed which was his undoing for as he stepped into it he had a heart attack and died.
At his death in 1914 his farms and mills passed to his nephew George Perowne Roberts
The buildings of Pound Farm in Arlesbury Road were demolished and made way to the Icknield Housing Association Estate but the farm continued to prosper from a large complex in Bedford Road and was doing well in 1974 when H.G. Western the School Headmaster wrote his A HISTORY OF ICKLEFORD and was in possession then of Mrs D P Parker the daughter of G P Roberts.
A private open air swimming pool along side the River Hiz at Hyde Mill was in use in 1939 teach the village children to swim.
The Mills that had been turned by the river Oughton as had another mill further down stream West Mill then leased by James Bowman's and Sons Ltd, of Astwick and Hitchin. They bought Hyde Mill, and Ickleford Mill the latter having been rebuilt, steamed powered and modernised by Thomas, when he installed roller mills in 1892.
Grist for animal feed was slowly ground at Hyde Mill for a few years until it and West Mill closed down.
Ickleford Mill continued to flourish until the large mill wheel was taken away for scrap for the Second World War war effort. In 1955 it was converted to electric power and silos for bulk storage were installed. In 1969 a new mill was built with very efficient plant and a storage capacity of 9000 tons. This became their main wheat store and the centre for all the Company's Biscuit flour with an output of 40 sacks per hour. The Company was still functioning at the end of the 20th century.
G P Roberts lived at Ickleford Bury and in 1922 donated the land where on the Village Hall stands.
