I find no such locality in the Gazetteers. The name appears to have been borne by an individual who farmed or resided at a royal mill. From the Hundred Bolls, 3. Edw. I., we learn that an inquisition was held touching the manors belonging to that monarch in Hampshire, when one of the jurors who gave evidence bore the name of Hugo de la Kingesmille-"Hugh of the King's Mill." The baronet family, extinct in 1823, traced their pedigree to Richard Kingsmill of the neighbouring county of Berkshire in the XV. cent.
