Ford End Watermill

The watermill, recorded in 1616 but certainly very much older, was in use until 1963 and is the only remaining working watermill in Buckinghamshire with original machinery.
The mill still retains all the atmosphere of a small farm mill of the late 1800's and has the unusual feature of a sheepwash in the tailrace below the mill. Washing made the fleece easier to shear and increased its value.
Stoneground wholemeal flour is on sale during milling demonstrations.
Schools and other parties are very welcome, further information is available on the Ford End Watermill website .
