Stainsby Mill

 

Stainsby Mill is a  water powered  corn mill, which dates from the 13th Century when it provided flour for local villages & later for the Hardwick estate.

It was substantially restored in  1850 by the 6th Duke of Devonshire & produced flour until 1952. The mill  is still in good working order.

The 17ft  high enclosed water  wheel is turned by water from the mill pond, powering the grinding & lifting work.
