A certain privilege is felt when working on such an historic local landmark building such as this beautiful Grade two listed Watermill, during its lifetime the Mill offered work directly and indirectly to thousands of local people over a period of hundreds of years, having a family history local to the area dating back to the 17C its quite likely some of my ancestors benefitted from the economy of the Mill maybe some worked in or on the Mill as I am now.

The Entrance & Stonework Renovation and Painting was undertaken in summer 2015, the Stonework was badly weathered and friable, the thick build up of paint was removed and repaired, the sign work was also removed and re written in a complimentary style in keeping with the original.

The Door and Door-frame had many years of paint build up which was removed and allowed the true shape of the wood mouldings to show through, they were then finished in Sikkens Satura Plus, this is a self levelling paint that offers an extremely smooth and high gloss finish.
