Celebrate National Mills Weekend in Cambridgeshire – May 10th and 11th 2008

 

More mills than ever before will be taking part in National Mills Weekend 2008, a national event organised each year by the dedicated Mills Section of SPAB (The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings). This year the event will see more than 300 wind and watermills open their doors to the public across the UK.

 

In Cambridgeshire there will be more than 10 mills open, both wind and water mills, of which at least 4 will be working producing flour, wind and water permitting. Cambridgeshire has a rich milling heritage; we are unique in having three regularly working mills within 10 miles of each other – Wicken, Lode and Swaffham Prior.

 

Many mills will be running special family events and activities during the weekend including demonstrations and the chance to buy flour and other produce made on the premises. At Lode Mill (Anglesey Abbey) you will be able to see the flour being made, eat the result in the Tea Room and purchase bags of flour in the Abbey shop!

 

The popularity of National Mills Weekend shows how important these wonderful buildings are, both in terms of our national heritage and our landscape. And, with increasing interest in natural food production and sustainable power sources, it’s hardly surprising that people want to find out more.

Mills Open Include:

Directions: Between Bourn and Caxton (off the A428 take the turn signed Bourn Airport and then  Bourn, and take a right turn into Caxton Road, alternatively turn off the A1198 via Caxton village).

Open Times: Mill open on Sunday 11 May from 2.00 pm - 4.30 pm (guided tours only with knowledgeable local guides). 

Entrance to Mill: Cambridge Preservation Society members free, Adults £1.50, Children: 50p

History: An ‘open trestle post mill’ Bourn Mill is one of the oldest surviving windmills in the country, now a scheduled ancient monument. It has been in the ownership of the Cambridge Preservation Society since 1932 and has undergone many repairs and rebuilds in its working life. The exterior of the mill can be enjoyed at anytime - but the mill is especially worth visiting on one of the summer open days (National Mills weekend and then last Sunday of the month from May to September), when our team of knowledgeable local guides will show you over the mill.  If the wind and weather conditions are right you may see the sails clothed and turning.

Open Times: Mill open from 11am to 5pm on 10th and 11th May. There will be guided tours: if the wind is blowing (very hard) we will turn the sails.  The mill is in the course of restoration, with most of its machinery intact but not necessarily working!

History: The mill was built in 1803 and was called the Great Mill as it had three stones and the largest cap in Cambridgeshire at over 5 metres.  The mill has had a few modification over the last 200 years and we believe the change only to be to a patented sail mechanism some time after 1850.  The mill has suffered from damp ingress throughout its history mainly through the brick work and as a result had an early cement render put around the top 4 metres in order to limit further problems.

The garden is worth wandering round as well. 
History: The mill was built in 1776 "on the base of an old Post Mill".  It is now a tower mill with a smock mounted on top.  Since 1776 it has had various major modifications made so that it presents an interesting record of the evolution of a mill over 150 years.

History: There is a mill listed on this site in the Domesday Book and the present watermill dated from the 18th Century. Around 1900 the mill was converted from corn grinding to cement grinding. The mill was acquired by the first Lord Fairhaven in 1934 and he restored it to corn mil condition. In 1978/82 the Cambridgeshire Wind and Watermill Society put it in working order. Flour is now produced on a regular basis and is on sale at the mill and the National Trust shop. Scones made from the flour are for sale in the National Trust restaurant.

Information: Mill will be working producing flour, wind permitting. Visitors can look around this working mill and purchase flour and other products sold including our famous muesli!
History: There have been mills on the site of the current mill since the time of the Domesday Book. The present tower mill was built around 1850 and worked until 1946 producing animal feed. In 1971 the mill was bought by Michael Bullied who set about restoring the mill to working order resulting in it grinding again in 1992 - this time producing flour! Since then, the mill has been in regular use. In 2006 further major restoration work was undertaken when the sails and stocks were replaced.

Directions:  On the south side of A1123, in Wicken village between Soham and Stretham.
Open Times:  From 10am to 5pm on 10th and 11th May. We will run guided tours.  If the wind is suitable the mill will be running, and at various times is likely to be milling wholemeal or producing white flour.
History:  The mill was built in 1813 on a new site, and worked by wind until the 1930’s.  After a period driven by Field Marshall tractor the mill finally stopped in about 1942.  It has been returned to good order by its millwright owners and supporters over the past 20 years, and is the only working 12-sided smock, or wooden tower, windmill in the UK.

 On Sunday there will be a car boot sale from 8 am to 12 noon in conjunction with Willingham Cricket Club.  For details ring Ronnie on 01954 260144

History: Built in 1828 by William Huckle, by 1841 ownership of the mill had passed to Benjamin How and was let to one of his relatives, John Gleaves.   Flour milling continued under the Gleaves family who introduced steam power into the mill in the 1880s.   Charles Cattell purchased the mill in the 1890s.   It is a tradition that once a miller produces flour from a mill, the mill may then bear his name – and this is how the mill is still known today.  The business throve until the late 1930s but it declined thereafter and the sails stopped turning in the late 1940s. Vital repair work was carried out in 1956 with the help of Chris Wilson (the current owner of Over Mill and last fully-trained millwright in the country) and, by 1958, grinding had recommenced.   In 1959, a County Council expert ruled that preservation of the mill was not viable due to the poor condition of the timber structures.   The mill was taken out of service in 1962.   Chris Wilson carried out further repairs in 1969, and Wallis Barton, Raymond Cattell’s son-in-law, worked to restore the mill from 1979.   In 1986, the sails were removed and the cap and fantail lowered to the ground for restoration.   The canvas cap covering was replaced with glass reinforced plastic to provide strength and durability and the cap and fantail were re-fitted in 1989.   A lightning conductor was also fitted as the mill had already been twice struck by lightning.   Little further work was done until Richard and Sarah Cowley bought the mill in 1997.

Please take care -You visit all these mills at your own risk.

 

1. Kington, Hergest Mill      NGR.:SO288561
Saturday  10am.-6pm. From Kington church go down Hergest Road for ½ mile; mill is on left. Free entry. Limited parking. An 18th century building on an ancient site, formerly fed by a long leat from the river Arrow. Most of the main internal iron machinery survives, having been replaced in the mid 19th century. Part of the timber framing on the ground floor is much older. The fixed, lower millstones of the 4 pairs are still in place. There were once two overshot wheels in line, but these and the ancillary machines have gone.

2. Eastnor, Clenchers Mill      NGR.:SO731351
Saturday, 11am-1pm. 1½ miles S of Eastnor church, beside Clenchers Mill Lane, leading to Bromsberrow. Free entry. Limited parking at ford, 100 yards away. This 18th century timber-framed mill, part of the Eastnor Castle Estate, has lost its water supply, but retains most of its machinery, and has been repaired. The upright shaft and the fine wooden gear on the first floor are original. The fairly large iron overshot waterwheel is of 1820 - probably the oldest one surviving in Herefordshire.

3. Much Cowarne, Cowarne Mill     NGR.:SO620467
Sunday 12-5pm. To reach the mill, take the lane southwards from the minor crossroads near the church and keep going for about 700 yards. Very limited parking. Outside viewing only. The mill has been converted to a private dwelling. Donations (Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings). After being rebuilt in brick about 110 years ago this mill was one of the last to work in Herefordshire. The overshot waterwheel can be seen turning with water from the large pond.

4. Rowlestone, Rowlestone Mill     NGR.:SO370270
Saturday 2-6pm. Entrance to mill is ¼ mile down hill to W (towards Walterstone from Rowlestone church) No parking at mill. Parking at village hall (by church). Donations (to Rowlestone village hall). Teas. One of the more remote corn mills, in a steep, wooded valley. It worked until the end of the war, but lost most of its machinery soon afterwards. It retains its external overshot waterwheel, and this will be turning. The water for the wheel was taken from the top of a waterfall, some distance upstream, and the leat to the mill is dramatic.

5. nr. Staunton on Arrow, Court of Noke Mill    NGRSO372595

 
Sunday 10am.-4pm. On N side of road, halfway between Shobdon and Lyonshall. Turn into lane on W side of house. Large car park is within 50 yards on right-hand side. Donations (to Staunton church). Visitors may also walk round the water gardens of the early 18th century house. The gardens were supplied from the river Arrow. The water then fed a waterwheel here at the adjoining farm. Its main purpose was to grind feed for the herd of prize Hereford cattle. The 19th century low breast-shot waterwheel and complicated iron gear is complete. It powered one pair of millstones, plus belt drives to whatever farm machines might be required.

 

6. Clodock, near Longtown, Clodock Mill    NGR.:SO326273
Saturday 10.30am.-5pm. & Sunday 2-5pm. Mill entrance is by the W side of the bridge over the River Monnow near Clodock church. Limited parking. Donations (to Air Ambulance). Light refreshments on Sat. Tea/coffee on Sun. A water-powered corn mill in a lovely situation, formerly fed by a leat from a weir below the church. The external breast-shot waterwheel is under repair. The machinery is mostly of iron and of the 19th century. The history of the building and its working parts is quite complicated. The large waterwheel, two pairs of stones, and the ancillary machinery are complete and in good condition. Near the mill is a separate turbine, formerly driven off the same leat to generate electricity.

7. Kingsland, Arrow Mill      NGR.:SO437587
Sunday 11am.-2pm. Mill entrance is on W side of the A4110 road, just N of the bridge over the River Arrow, at Arrow Green, 1½ miles S of Kingsland. Limited parking. Free entry. One of the most impressive mills in Herefordshire, a large 17th century timber-framed building with a low breast-shot waterwheel – which should be turning. The 19th century machinery, mostly of iron, and 3 pairs of millstones, are still in position. A machine for beating out clover seeds, was driven by very old wooden gearing, and is unique, as is the original beaten-earth ground floor of the mill. There is a fine old flour dresser. In the NE corner of the mill was a hop kiln.

8. Lucton, Mortimer’s Cross Mill     NGR.:SO426637

Sunday 10am.-4pm. Mortimer’s Cross is on the A4110, 1 mile S of Aymestrey. The mill is on the N side of the B4362 road to Ludlow, just E of Mortimer’s Cross. Large car park Entry £4, concession £3.50, children £2.50. Free to English Heritage members. Tea and coffee. The waterwheel will be turning all day, but only grinding corn between 3.00 & 4.00pm. The only workable water-powered corn mill in Herefordshire, it dates from c.1750. The external breast-shot waterwheel and machinery were replaced a little over a hundred years later. A remarkably complete mill, with three pairs of stones, and all its machinery and equipment. Alongside once stood a paper mill. A footpath leads along the leat to the weir on the River Lugg.

9. Staunton on Arrow, Staunton Mill    NGR.:SO369599

Sunday, 10am.-5pm. Down the hill from the church. Limited parking. Donations (Staunton church). Originally built as part of a grand scheme, combining corn milling with irrigation, in the 1650s. The present building is 18th century, but most of the machinery is of iron, having been replaced a century later. There are two overshot waterwheels, one on each side of the mill, each of which drove two pairs of millstones. The big wooden flour dresser is of interest, as is the sackhoist in the loft.

10. Hereford, Waterworks Museum    NGR.:SO496393

Sunday 1-4pm. Good parking. S side of Broomy Hill, on W side of Hereford. (Follow brown signs from Barton Road, off N end of Greyfriars Bridge) Entry £3, Seniors £2, Children £1. Café. Water pumping station. Engines will be in steam. Exhibits include 1920s wind-pump from Bridge Sollers, 1890 turbine-driven pump from Warwickshire, 1907 waterwheel from Carmarthenshire, tiny 1912 Pelton wheel from Ross on Wye, 1880 turbine from Dorset and 1937 turbine from Kington.

11. Mordiford, Mordiford Mill                 NGR.:SO572372

Sunday 10.30am – 4.30pm. Do not park in yard in front of mill. Access is off B4224, 100 yards S of mill, which is on S side of Mordiford village. Limited parking. Free entry. A tall stone building of c.1840 on a steep site. The large overshot waterwheel drove 19th century iron machinery and 2 pairs of stones. The mill is under restoration to workable condition, although there is no water supply at present.
