Jeremiah Lamb, a member of the Religious Society of Friends was buried on 16 Nov 1696. It looks like ? wright Mill but cannot locate through Google such a place.

Rolewright Mills - for modern spelling look at Rollright, Great & Little.

Thanks Iffley; when you say Great and Little I am assuming you mean Great Rolewright Mill & Little Rolewright Mill?

The parishes are Great Rollright & Little Rollright - the Mills page is useful -
https://millsarchive.org/results?keywords=rollright  and gives maps too

Google maps UK. The two places are just north of Chipping Norton - Great Rollright and Little Rollright. There may have been mills at both places. You may be able to confirm which Rollright by finding his marriage, or his children's births which may have occurred in one or the other .....
