Watermill from Lurgashall, Sussex
This mill is for grinding corn, for flour and animal feed. The overshot
waterwheel provides power for two pairs of millstones, a grain cleaner and a sack hoist.
The oldest parts of the building probably date from the 17th century, but many changes
were made to the machinery and the building during its working life, which lasted until
the 1930s. Flour produced in the mill can be purchased there and in the Museum shop.
