Large, attractive pub, set in part of a 19th century mill; the wheel still turns in the lower half of the building. A rambling building with a number of interconnecting dining and drinking areas on several floors, complemented by comfortable and cosy alcoves. There is a large riverside garden, with adjacent grassland ideal for walking the dog. A regular comedy night is held on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. An annual Festival on August Bank Holiday Saturday and there is occasional live theatre in the garden during the Summer months
Historic Interest
The Mill's story dates back to 1647, when the original building burnt down. That same year, the Mill had been occupied by Oliver Cromwell's roundheads. A new mill was built in 1648 and is belived to have functioned as a corn mill until the late 18th Century. Later, in the 19th Century, it was acquired by the Appleton family - and used for making braid for military uniforms. The 1851 census shows that 100 people worked here, which perhaps explains why the Cupola on the roof was installed around that time - the bell used to call people to work! (source: Pub's Website)
