Chauntry Mills is a Grade II Heritage Listed victorian industrial textile mill, built for the Gurteen family manufacturing business in 1784.
Chauntry Mills is built for the Gurteen textile manufacturing business.
Gurteen founder Daniel Gurteen was a Master Weaver specialising in weaving a material that was used for making agricultural smocks, known as Drabbets.
Intricately woven and immensely versatile, the Drabbets became the general utility garment of their age.

Today, Gurteen is run by the sixth and seventh generation of the family.
Gurteen has a large private label business for household names and a branded business with stockists throughout the United Kingdom. The business continues to thrive on it's passion for producing great clothing.
The business has grown and Gurteen invests in a magnificent steam engine that remains at Chauntry Mills in pristine condition to this day. This investment allowed the business to expand into mens’ clothing.
The company employs some 2,500 people in and around Haverhill.
