Acorn Bank’s watermill
Acorn Bank’s watermill was once used to mill flour, which is now sold at local shops. The flour is available for purchase from Kirkby Thore and Stainton village shops, and also at Penrith’s Natures Health food store, and at Low Howgill butchery.
The first written record of a mill on Acorn Bank’s estate dates back to 1323, when the estate was owned by the Order of the Knights Hospitaller. Since then, the mill has been used for corn milling and powering gypsum mines, but fell into disuse in the 1940s.
Despite a number of setbacks, Acorn Bank’s watermill has reopened and is currently being operated by volunteers. In April 2019, the watermill was running regularly and making flour for visitors. Unfortunately, a Covid-19 outbreak forced the National Trust to reassess the operation of several properties.
