Tide mill.

            Tide mill.
The building on the immediate right is the tide mill and according to the records a tide mill has been situated on this site since 1170. 
For about 350 years it was owned and operated by the Augustinian Priors who were (and still are) a religious order of Catholic friars  who live in community and are inspired by Saint Augustine who taught to value community life over seeking for oneself. 
Henry VIII confiscated the mill and it remained in ownership of the Crown for the next 28 years.
It was during the reign of Elizabeth I that it was sold by royal decree and it was purchased by Thomas Seckford where it remained in the family in excess of 100 years.
During the interim years several private owners operated the mill.
In 1957 the last commercially tide mill still in operation in England was closed. 
Saved from an uncertain future in 1968 the mill was restored and opened to the public in 1973.
Today the mill in one of two tide mills in operation in the UK which produces stoneground wholemeal flour.
