Welcome to Crabble Corn Mill
Owned, operated and maintained by Crabble Corn Mill Trust, the mill
was rescued from demolition and opened to the public in 1990. It can
now boast to be one of the most complete and working examples of a
Georgian watermill in Europe.
Crabble Corn Mill would like to thank all those who sponsored or
otherwise supported the 4th Annual Beer Festival over the 2009 late
May Bank Holiday. Without your help the Festival could not have
taken place and the Trust would hope that all those who enjoyed sampling the fine selection of beers and
ciders will return in 2010 and bring all their friends with them.
A Brief History
The current structure was built in 1812 alongside an existing mill which was later
demolished to allow for additional storage space - what is now the exhibition area
on the ground floor and the tea rooms. However, records show that there has been
a mill on this site since at least 1227 when Henry III granted a Charter of
Confirmation to St. Radigund's Abbey, the ruins of which can still be seen today on
the hill above the village.
What We Have to Offer
The Mill is a working museum and as such shows Georgian and Victorian
engineering excellence at work using one of natures most powerful forces
- water. In 1999 the Mill won the prestigious Presidents Award from the
Association for Industrial Archaeology. Six floors of exhibits and milling
machinery describe the process of turning wheat into flour, and this
organic wholemeal flour is available for sale in the gift shop and the Farm
Shop. The café, which is also available for private functions, serves a
variety of snacks and meals and has a fully licensed bar serving a variety
of beers, cider, wines and spirits. There is no admission charge to the café,
although we hope you will take a tour of the Mill while you are here.

Our Wholemeal Flour
Our flour is milled in the traditional way using the original 19th Century machinery which
has been restored to full working order here at Crabble Corn Mill. Visitors touring the Mill
can see the machinery working, powered by the flow of the River Dour; a sustainable
and eco-friendly energy supply.
