About the event
We have a new exhibition, The Mill on the Wey, opening at the Museum this Saturday for approximately 3 months Saturdays 10-12 and by appointment. So, any publicity gratefully received -poster attached
Until destroyed by fire in 1966, the 17th century Newark Mill was an imposing landmark on the River Wey close by Newark Priory. A mill had stood on this site since Anglo-Saxon times and its destruction, never to be rebuilt, was then, and still remains a great loss to Surrey both architecturally and historically.We have put together photos and drawing, some never seen before and we also have a lovely model. You can even try your hand at grinding corn…
