Berney Arms High Mill is in the parish of Reedham on Halvergate Marsh and is Norfolk's highest drainage mill.
The mill was built c.1870 by millwrights Stolworthy to grind cement clinker, using clay dredged from Oulton Broad and brought to the mill by wherry.
As Rex Wailes explained, "The chalky mud dredged from the river was burned to produce cement clinker; this was ground in the mill by three pairs of 4' 6" diameter peak stones situated on the second floor.

The use of the Norfolk and Suffolk roll of arms as an historical text is also complicated by the fact that many of the shields have been left blank or exhibit slight artistic differences from the arms given for that particular family in other heraldic texts.
It is difficult to determine whether or not such arms were considered as legitimate as arms of inheritance or granted by a prince, but it is clear that at the time the Norfolk and Suffolk roll of arms was compiled, arms were not the sole preserve of soldiers or nobles.
The coat of arms of his kinsman Sir Roger de Thorp is also present in the Norfolk and Suffolk roll of arms, Sir Roger having fought at the battle of Borough Bridge in 1322.

Berney is a name of ancient Norman origin.
The Berney family lived in Norfolk, where they were established since the early Middle Ages.
The popularity of this given name among Normans in the centuries immediately following the Norman Conquest of 1066 was greatly increased by virtue of its having been borne by St. Bernard of Clairvaux (c.1090-1153) founder and abbott of a monastery at Clairvaux.
