White Mill, Sturminster Marshall
White Mill stands beside the River Stour near Sturminster Marshall in Dorset, on a site recorded in the Domesday Book. The present brick building was rebuilt in 1776 and worked as a gristmill until the 1860s. Inside, the original elm and applewood gearing and millstones survive, carefully conserved rather than restored. It is a small, atmospheric place that shows how a country corn mill actually fitted together.
