'Stotfold Watermill, in its idyllic setting on the River Ivel, is truly unique. Having burnt down in 1992, it is now a Grade II listed watermill that has been completely rebuilt with three fully accessible floors to view. Some of the machinery survived the fire and has been restored by a team of volunteers working alongside the mill specialists. Notable features are the 4.4 metre wide overshot corn mill waterwheel which is the widest in the country and the hursting frame, installed in 1897 by Whitmore & Binyon. Produces stone ground flour, which is on sale in the gift shop.'
The mill is open on specific days to the public.
