Watermill originally from Lurgashall, Sussex, now located at the Weald and Downland Museum. This mill is for grinding corn for flour and animal feed. The waterwheel powers two pairs of millstones, a grain cleaner and a sack hoist. The oldest parts of the building are from around the 17th century, but many changes were made to the machinery and the building during its working life, which lasted until the 1930s.
