Welcome to Crabble Corn Mill
Local photograher Peter Kesby took this atmospheric picture just before sunrise recently.
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.
All the staff at Crabble Corn Mill are volunteers and take no wages; they do this simply to keep the Mill going. Our only income is from visitors, special events and occasional donations. Crabble Corn Mill receives no financial aid from the state and all monies raised go to the upkeep of Mill and its estate.
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 nature's 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 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.

Festive Afternoon Teas
A Festive Afternoon Tea. Prices start from £20.95 per person. This fine dining experience will run from 3rd November 2025 until 3rd December on selected Sunday's, Monday's, Wednesday's and Thursday's with selected sittings between midday and 3:00 pm, although there may be some exceptions due to pre-existing events or staff availability.
Bookings can be made online at any time or by calling into the site office when the Mill is open (Monday - Thursday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm). Bookings will be accepted up to midday two days before each event to allow fresh provisioning.
