Stainsby Mill

For hundreds of years, Stainsby has occupied this site in varying forms. Over time, this water mill has provided flour to locals and to the Hardwick Estate.
On your visit, explore free-flow or enjoy informative tours from our knowledgeable Mill guides. Whether your interest is industrial, social or historical, Stainsby offers an immersive experience for all.
Though the Mill is not currently producing flour, visitors can enjoy an insight into mill life.
Between 1849-50 the mainly wooden machinery including the wheel was replaced by the more modern cast and wrought iron. This is the wheel you can see today on your visit to Stainsby.
