Everyday Histories at the mill

Enjoy learning about, seeing, and experiencing the history of our iconic windmill, where visitors can step back into the everyday life of a miller and gain a real sense of the scale of work and dedication involved in this vital trade.

As an added bonus, we are delighted to present our new small exhibition, Pins & Needles: The Craft of Sewing. This exhibition explores the art of dressmaking from the late Victorian period to early modern Britain, featuring a fascinating display of tools, fabrics and techniques that brought garments to life.
