Help us get Sarehole Mill milling again!

2019 marks 50 years since Sarehole Mill became a museum and we have big plans for the mill this year! We have launched an appeal to restore Sarehole Mill to full working order. Not only will this help us to bring history to life for our visitors, but we will also be able to sell bread to the local community, which will help us sustain the museum. We are aiming to raise £6,500 to enable us to begin milling again.
