The Ifield Mill
Here are some more pics from my visit to the Mill. I’ve converted this one to a black and white image – it seems to suit this old Mill which dates back to the 1840’s. However – the first mention of a mill in Ifield was in 1274. I can’t quite make out from the Brochure exactly when the present [restored] Mill was built, but there are recorded mentioned owners throughout the 1600’s and 1700’s. Volunteers have done a wonderful job of restoring it from 1973 onwards , with the waterwheel being restored in 2008.
The next few pics are from the hedgerows along the path leading to the Mill.

Hi – so sorry for the ommission – the most important thing! Thanks for your interest. It’s a flour mill and the volunteers produce some flour now they’ve got the machinery workng. I believe every village that had water nearby (lakes/rivers etc) would have had their Mills/Millers to serve their own and other’s needs.
