Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Working Watermill at Ford End Shared Information for pictures of the watermill on SP9614 While there were watermills in the Ivinghoe area of Buckinghamshire in 1232 these early references cannot be tied to a particular mill. The first explicit reference to the Ford End Mill is in 1781 when it was owned by Mrs Judy Reddall and tenanted by Bernard Wilkes. William Heley worked Ford End Farm and Mill between 1784 and 1798, and the mill contains a board painted with “W H 1785.” By 1963 the mill was in such a poor state of repair that it was hardly usable, and since 1965 the Pitstone Local History Society has worked on restoring it. It is now maintained and run by the Ford End Watermill Society and is open to the public on about a dozen days a year, with the mill working on most of these days. For more information (including many photographs, a detailed history, and an explanation of how the mill works) see www.fordendwatermill.co.uk
