Mill entrance and miller
Can you separate the man from his millSK8214 : Whissendine Mill. Whissendine Mill has been restored and operated by Nigel Moon over the last 20 years. I was reminded of the historic pictures of millers as we parted after an interesting tour of the working mill.
Whissendine Windmill
Whissendine Windmill is a large towermill in the Rutland village of Whissendine. Originally built in 1809 by the Earls of Harborough it was constructed out of local ironstone like most of the village.
Gale damage in 1922 shut the operation down until 1995 when Nigel Moon bought it and began restoring the building for commercial use. It grids organic flour today and can be visited with permission. Inside it is packed with machinery, including four pairs of stones. Also of interest is the Wegman's Roller Mill, dating from 1878.
