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.
