I am very relieved. I visited the mill in April, when its future was in the balance. It is a wonderful mill, and has been kept in tip-top condition by Peter Ellis the curator, who I first met when he was the miller at Muncaster mill in Cumbria. Peter has worked tirelessly to get a Friends group set up and to campaign for the mill's future.
