New Mill

New Mill features a four-storey wooden structure built on a single-storey brick base, with a stage positioned at the first-floor level.

The mill was constructed in 1848 by J J and T R Holman Canterbury millwrights at a cost of £600, initially incorporating two pairs of millstones.

This Grade II listed building represents the traditional milling practices of Kent, demonstrating the agricultural methods used throughout the nineteenth century.

The mill contains preserved machinery components, including the windshaft, one pair of millstones, engine driveshafts, gearing systems, and associated equipment.

In 1886, the mill received a 7 horsepower Robey & Co. steam engine installation, enabling continued operation during periods without wind.
