This site consists of an original 1860 waterwheel with a modern timber building housing milling equipment moved from another mill in Buckinghamshire. The original mill was a much bigger building. The drive to the stones includes a belt drive, this is not original and is most unusual - but it works.

This is the view in the modern wooden 'mill house' at ground floor. The vertical drive to the stones is behind the fire extinguisher and the flour emerges from 'The SPOUT'. The hand wheel on the right adjusts the tentering (the gap between the stones). The handle with the yellow knob disconnects the drive to the stones. The wooden knob with the green string adjusts the angle of the shoe feeding the grain into the stones. I cannot remember what the hand wheel top left does.
