There are hand-spinners working, the clatter of machinery and the hiss of steam engines – we also have Europe’s most powerful working waterwheel. Guided tours t Apprentice House, which housed the pauper children who worked in the mill. In the stunning garden, you can follow our progress with our Upper Garden Project.
