Sturminster Newton has had a mill turning on the same stretch of the River Stour for close to a thousand years, and it's still grinding flour today.
A mill recorded in the Domesday Book
Evidence points to a mill on this site on the River Stour since 1016, and it's recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, among four mills noted in the Sturminster area at the time.
Still grinding flour today
In 2016 the mill marked 1,000 years of milling on the same site. It survives as a rare working water mill, grinding flour that's sold from the on-site shop.
