Stainsby Mill, Historic watermill in Ault Hucknall, England
Stainsby Mill, constructed from coursed sandstone with a stone slate roof, features an iron wheel measuring 17 feet in diameter to drive three stone pairs.
The National Trust acquired this late 18th-century mill in 1976, restoring it to working condition between 1991 and 1992 after decades of inactivity.
The mill demonstrates traditional grain processing methods, illustrating the connection between agricultural practices and food production in rural England.
Visitors can access the mill from Easter through October to observe the functional milling machinery and learn about historical grain processing techniques.
The mill's water wheels were previously connected to turbines that pumped water to supply the neighboring Hardwick Hall estate.
