Clencher's Mill Taken on a visit during the National Mills Weekend. An 18th century timber framed mill with an iron overshot waterwheel dating back to 1820. The waterwheel is accessed from the open doorway. When, in the 1920s, the water supply via the leet was cut off the mill was driven from an engine in the building on the left with a drive shaft passing overhead.

The mill stones, Clencher's Mill Taken on a visit during the National Mills Weekend. An 18th century timber framed mill with an iron overshot waterwheel dating back to the 1820. The corn for grinding was shaken from the wooden hopper into the centre of the top stone. The string disappearing through a hole to the floor below controlled the feed of corn to the mill - when a bag of milled flour was full the miller pulled the string and the corn stopped flowing. The metal lever on the wall on the left of the picture controlled the water flow over the wheel, housed beyond the brick wall. The horizontal shaft with the leather belt must be a 1920s addition when the water supply to the leet was cut off and the mill was powered from an engine in an adjacent building.

Clenchers Mill, near Eastnor This is the gear room of this 18th century timber framed watermill. The wheel is of 1820. The pit wheel is at the back and the wallow is out of mesh on the beam carrying the footstep bearing for the main shaft. There is one surviving set of stones driven to the right. The stones on the left are missing but sufficient remains to show there must have been a pair here. The vertical centre boarding is curved to clear the great spur wheel.

Clenchers Mill - stone floor The single surviving pair of stones and a crusher for animal feed are on the right. The lever on the wall on the left opens the penstock for the overshot waterwheel. The crownwheel is just left of centre and operates one shaft for the sack hoist and one for other auxiliaries.

Clenchers Mill, sack hoist mechanism This roller on an arm is pulled onto the sack hoist belt (vertical belt left of centre) to tighten it and engage the sack hoist and pulled off to release it. There are two cords to operate it. I have never seen one like it before. This watermill was open for National Mills Weekend.
