COMBE MILL in STEAM Sunday 21st August 2016
Theme:- Science and Engineering at the Mill
Come along and experience the power of steam and water. Watch the laws of physics at work in all aspects of this restored sawmill and workshop that once served the Blenheim Estate. Its rare Thomas Piggott beam engine and waterwheel have been preserved and can be seen driving original woodworking machinery via line shafting and belts.
In the upstairs pattern shop can be seen working demonstrations of various trade and craftsmen`s tools including wheelwright, carpentry and pattern making. A working collection of historic tower clocks is also here. Visitors particularly enjoy chatting with the volunteers who explain the machinery and exhibits. Have a go at making a poker in our blacksmiths` forge
In the riverside picnic area visitors can enjoy refreshments in our tea room and the tranquillity of the river Evenlode. This hands-on museum with something to interest every one, takes pride in making you think and learn through trying your hand at making things and seeing how machinery works. There is a Millie-the-mill-cat trail for the children.
Combe Mill is open for viewing every Wednesday and Sunday 10.00am to 4.30pm (not in steam) from April - September, only in Steam on the 3rd Sunday of each month, plenty of things to see and explore Volunteers are on hand to explain how this historic workplace was powered by steam and water and to show you what went on here in support of the Blenheim Palace Estate.
