Brief description

https://pitstone.co.uk/localinfo/ford-end-watermill-ivinghoe/ 

"This lovely little watermill has records that date back to 1616 but is certainly very much older and was in use up until 1963.

Restored by volunteers and maintained and run by Ford End Watermill Society, it is the only remaining working watermill in Buckinghamshire with original machinery.

It retains all the atmosphere of a small farm mill of the late 1800’s.

An unusual feature is a sheep-wash in the stream below the mill, washing made the fleece easier to shear and increased it’s value.

Stone-ground wholemeal flour is on sale during milling demonstrations."
