Whitchurch Silk Mill, Independent museum and mill building in Whitchurch, England.

The Whitchurch Silk Mill stands along the River Test, featuring a water wheel that powers traditional Victorian-era weaving machinery and looms.

Built in 1800 by Henry Hayter, this watermill transformed from a fulling operation to silk production in 1817 under William Madick's ownership.

The mill maintains traditional silk weaving techniques, producing high-quality fabrics while educating visitors about industrial textile manufacturing methods.

The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, offering ground floor wheelchair access and on-site parking facilities.

The facility continues to manufacture silk products using its original 19th-century equipment, making it the oldest working silk mill in its initial building.
