Conservation in action at Winchester City Mill
For centuries, City Mill has been an integral part of Winchester’s heritage. From its early Anglo Saxon origins to the present day, it has withstood the demands of time. During the heavy floods over the winter of 2013/14, the Mill suffered huge damage with much of the building inundated by the main flow of the river. The sheer weight of water posed a real threat of carrying the building’s walls away.
In 2017 we embarked on a fundraising campaign. Thanks to the generosity of our visitors and the local community we’re now able to begin the vital repairs needed to save this much-loved building. Read on to find out about changes to your visit, and a rare opportunity to watch conservation in action.
