Description
The White Mill was built in 1760 and still has most of its original wooden machinery, and the museum is housed in the Miller's Cottage, built in the 1830s and what with the outbuildings are a rare example of a surviving complete milling site. The Engine Room, restored in 1995, contains a Lister petrol engine used to drive a Plate Mill to grind corn into flour, which the mill has provided throughout the Victorian era until 1957 and run for almost 100 years by one family. Exhibits of farming, craft tool, kitchen and laundry equipment as well as a Blacksmith’s workshop really evoke the work lives of the mill in the past.
