Cogglesford Watermill

Looking to enjoy the sun today? 🔆🔆🔆 Why not have a walk around Sleaford with the Sleaford Heritage Trail. Explore Sleaford's history and look out for the green plaques! 🔎🔎🔎 @heartoflincs

For #ThrowbackThursday , did you know that the name 'Cogglesford' first appears in the sixteenth century due to a legal dispute about the tithe payments from the miller Thomas Horsman. 🔍🔍🔍 @heartoflincs

Continuing measuring things against Rob, today we have our Pit Wheel! This cast iron wheel is directly connected to our waterwheel (behind the white wall). It is about 1 and a half Rob's tall as it sits in a pit at the bottom, hence the name Pit Wheel! @heartoflincs

Due to the maintenance being undertaken here at Cogglesford we have been able to get up close and hands on with parts of the machinery that we would otherwise not be able to. Here is Rob with one of the paddles from our waterwheel, it is just over 1 Rob tall!📏📏📏 @heartoflincs

Thanks to all who visited on milling day🌾 Apologies if you missed seeing the mill working – a few issues we’re getting sorted. PS: Andy is not floating down the River – just his name badge, lost during river clearing (a tough end to his weekend after the rugby). 📷 Joan Heeley

A bit gloomy outside today, but we’d still love to see you at the mill. Our gift shop is full of local treats, plus flour & recipes for something comforting at home. Lovely to welcome back our former miller Michael yesterday too 🧡 #Sleaford #Lincolnshire #LocalProduce #Heritage

The end of winter could be in sight... there's lots of lovely blooms finally peeking through, and plenty of blue sky - what a treat! If you're looking for something to do this weekend, why not pop by the Cottage? We are open this weekend between 12-4pm (last entry 3pm).

Join us today as we mill our Spelt Flour from 12 - 2 today! Spelt is an ancient grain which we will be milling with our Derbyshire gritstone to create our wonderful spelt flour! What will you make with it? 🍪🍞🫓🍰 @heartoflincs

We're free to visit, & your donations help us care for this historic mill. Your help keeps the machine turning, adds winter blankets, & helps volunteers keep the outside tidy. We're raising funds to repair the wheel (spot the missing paddle!). Thank you for keeping history alive.
