Finch Foundry 2024
The 'Foundry' is actually a forge opened in 1814 by the Finch family.
A waterwheel in action, this one powers the fan which blows air into the hearth, making the fire hot.
The Roundhouse Tearoom on a soggy day.
Our lovely garden.
19th century water-powered edge tool works containing original machinery, including unique tilt and drop hammers and three waterwheels all in working order. Regular talks and machinery demonstrations throughout the day.
