Narborough Bone Mill
Belgrave House, Main Road, Narborough, King's Lynn, Norfolk, PE32 1TE
The Narborough bone mill is situated on the banks of the River Nar about a mile from the village. Access to the site is via a beautiful 15 to 20 minute walk from the free car park, (dogs are welcome). There are the remaining floors of buildings, pieces of old machinery, tunnels, an underground chamber and many interesting finds such as bones, metalwork, coins, a human skull bone and clay pipe fragments, along with the waterwheel. Once on site enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit/cake (donations appreciated) and a chat with one of our knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers, who can answer your questions about the bone mill which was operating in Victorian times grinding bones to make fertiliser. We usually have the water wheel turning on open days. There is a model of how the mill would have looked in our visitor centre.
