Letheringsett Watermill, Historic watermill in Letheringsett, England
Description
Letheringsett Watermill is a four-story brick building with three matching gables topped by a black pantiled roof that extends beyond the walls at the eaves. The structure harnesses water power to grind grain into multiple varieties of flour for sale at the on-site shop.
History
The current mill structure dates from 1802 and was built to replace an earlier building destroyed by fire. Milling has taken place on this site since at least the Domesday Book period.
Culture
The mill remains woven into Norfolk's grain milling tradition, serving local bakeries and restaurants with freshly ground flour to this day. Visitors can observe how the craft of stone grinding continues through generations of millers working here.
Practical
The mill is open to visitors who can browse and purchase flour and baking supplies at the shop on-site. Plan your visit when water levels and weather allow the mill machinery to operate for the full experience.
Did you know?
The mill features a dual waterwheel system that switches between two different operating modes based on water levels flowing from the nearby stream. This dual mechanism allows the mill to continue grinding grain efficiently throughout the year regardless of seasonal water fluctuations.
