The Stable Gift Shop and Exhibition

The Stable Gift Shop is an old stable building which was converted in 2007. It is a listed building, with a wonderful brick floor and hay mangers for horses.

The stable is accessible by visitors in wheelchairs and inside you can watch our 14 minute video tour of the mill, an opportunity for visitors who are unable to access the upper floors to see the mill in operation.

The Stable is open for viewing until 4 pm, but please note that guide books, ice creams, and other items are only available for purchase until 3.45 pm. We accept cash and credit card payments.

The Stable displays various items of milling and local interest. Some of these, including glass bottles, leather, and metal remains, were discovered in small piles of rubble unearthed during an excavation of an area of the mill floor. The presence of unbroken Codd bottles suggests no children lived at the mill at that time, as they would have wanted the glass marbles contained in the neck of the bottles.

Notice the hay manger in the far corner!
