Mapledurham Watermill, Historic watermill on River Thames in Mapledurham, United Kingdom.

The mill contains two separate water wheels, with the main structure extending over multiple levels along the riverbank of the Thames.

The central section of this Grade II listed building dates to the 15th century, while extensions were added during the 17th and 18th centuries.

The mill demonstrates traditional grain processing methods and maintains active flour production using water-powered machinery from different historical periods.

Guided tours allow visitors to observe the milling process, and freshly ground flour is available for purchase in the on-site shop.

The building gained international recognition after appearing on the cover of Black Sabbath's first album released in 1970.
