Staunton Mill
This watermill dates form the 18th century but most of the machinery was replaced in the 19th century. There are two ruinous overshot wheels that drove four pairs of stones (three remain in situ). The mill was open for National Mills Weekend and is an important survivor.
Mills Open Weekend 2011

National Mills Weekend is an annual celebration of the UK's milling heritage. The event is organised by the Mills Section of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.
The 2011 dates were the 14th and 15th May. Over 450 buildings were open to visitors meaning many to choose from. They ranged from fully working wind and water mills to under restoration or rarely open buildings.
