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.
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.
Crabble Corn Mill would like to thank all those who sponsored or otherwise supported the 6th Annual Beer Festival over the 2010 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 2011 and bring all their friends with them. |

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 wholemeal flour is available for sale at the Mill.
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. |

|
|
|
Crabble Corn Mill hosted its 3rd Annual Cider Festival over the weekend of 7th, 8th and 9th October 2011.
Crabble Corn Mill's General Manager, Ant Reid, said after the event, "The Crabble Corn Mill Cider Festival has been a huge success this year. The Crabble Corn Mill Trust would like to thank everyone for their support in attending the event over the weekend. The amount that attended the whole weekend was 555 people who we hope all enjoyed the festival. We are all so pleased the weather held out for us even though we had a few showers. Crabble Corn Mill Trust would like to say a huge thank you to all of the sponsors of the event as without them the event simply would not have happened."
