Chris Kissensing

We recently got married here. The venue was lovely, the day was lovely and all the staff on hand were great. Amazing!

Unusual thing to find so close to the High Street. The volunteers are very friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Worth a visit but you must be physically fit to climb the stairs as there’s no disabled access to the upper floors. Check opening times/days before going.

A lovely mill dates back to the early 1800s. Fully restored and open to the public some weekend, you will need to check the website. Carpark on site, park for free on Sunday.
