The Battle of Agincourt took place on October 25, 1415, on the feast of Saint Crispinian. The troops of King Henry V of England fought against the army of King Charles VI of France. It was one of the greatest military victories of the English over the French during the Hundred Years' War. The battle is very well documented. There are numerous books about this battle, including John Keegan: The Face of War: The Battles of Agincourt 1415, Waterloo 1815 and the Somme 1916.

This Spanish mill was built around 1635, on the banks of the Lacquette River. It produced flour until 1938, then milling for livestock. It was bought in 1974 to be transformed into a home. It is built with brick and stone (white limestone). All that remains of the original building is the north gable (17th century), and also a porch. The water wheel is still in place but it no longer turns. The dam forms a pretty waterfall. A turret was added on the river side. It is a very beautiful private home with a beautiful garden in which you can see a stone fountain.
