Our volunteer team have been honoured by the Queen for the work done in restoring the Mill from a derelict shell to a fully working watermill that is open to the public.

Stotfold Watermill has been announced as one of 103 UK volunteering groups to win this year’s The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the MBE for volunteer groups. The mill has received the Award for transforming a derelict building, through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, into a thriving and sustainable watermill, which produces stone-ground flour once more. The Mill is open to the public every alternate Sunday from March to October, enabling visitors to view the completely restored building and equipment and to buy flour directly from the Mill itself.  Stotfold Watermill also provides a vital educational and historical resource detailing the local rural heritage and has become the focus of community involvement in Stotfold and the surrounding villages.
