Sarehole Mill
was built in 1765 on the site
of a previous building called Biddle's
Mill which dates back to 1540.
For most of Sarehole's life, it
was
a corn grinding mill but in the
early part of the 19th century,
it was
used for blade grinding as well
as making flour.
Visitors to Sarehole Mill will
see an attractive group of buildings,
including a bakehouse, a metal
workshop, a granary and the mill
itself, all arranged around a cobbled
courtyard. Behind the mill is the
pool which receives its water from
nearby Coldbath Brook.
