You all remember the programme “The Furnace in the Cellar” broadcast in February 2002 don’t you? Yes, I thought so. You might like to know that a group was formed soon after the programme was shown and is trying to raise funds to carry out some restoration work.

Our web site is at http://www.leightonheritage.info/

There’s some more work to do on it, but it’s a start._________________

Can we have a ‘how medieval water mills worked’ thread? I presume there were a number of methods involved in the setting up of them? I know of one derelict medieval mill that has huge blocks of quarried sandstone left as remains in downstream, I took those as being used to form a dam rather than the later methods of re directing the stream. Any thoughts anybody?

I have never looked into this in depth.
