Event summary:

Compiled from the Mill’s archive, this illustrated talk will cover highlights of the Mill’s history over 500 years. We’ll be looking at its origins, structural changes, subsequent uses and conversion to an arts and crafts centre. There will be time for a short tour inside the building (please mind your head) and outside too, weather permitting.

The presentation will be seated in the Mill’s Education Room on the ground floor. The building tour involves low ceiling beams and wooden staircases. Wheelchair access is available to the ground floor, gallery and mezzanine floor areas. Upper floors are only accessible only by wooden stairs.

Lunch and refreshments will be available at Little Pickle at the Mill cafe, across the courtyard.
