Late 18th century watermill. Once leased by Matthew Boulton for metal working, it is now a corn mill and milling takes place most Sundays. The mill has a stationary steam engine but this is not in working order. As a childhood haunt of JRR Tolkien, Sarehole and its surroundings inspired parts of 'The Hobbit' and 'Lord of the Rings'.
