Nottinghamshire’s only fully working independent wind-powered flour mill. This award-winning restoration is a privately owned heritage business working with and for the community.
VISITING, DIRECTIONS, PRODUCE and CATERING
Guided Tours with detailed explanations of the mill and its workings are available whenever the Miller or a volunteer is available (advance booking recommended).Self guide tours also available (children must be accompanied by an adult). Walk through the different floors and learn a little of the history of Tuxford and the Windmill. Discover the Meal Floor with the tentering equipment and governors; The Stone floor with the mill stones and their furniture;The Bin Floor with the Sack Hoist; and to the top for a close-up view of the wind-shaft, wallower, brake-wheel and turning gear on the Dust Floor. Also check out the “engine-pit” which housed a steam engine up until the late 1920’s. We welcome school and educational groups for tours plus snacks; or build a day out to suit your class needs. The beautiful, peaceful grounds feature mature trees and gardens – the ideal spot for a morning coffee, or a quiet afternoon picnic – by prior arrangement.
