Lode Water Mill
There has probably been a mill on the site of the present Lode Mill since the time of the Domesday Survey in 1085, although the present mill is thought to have been built in the eighteenth century.
In one of its incarnations, the mill was converted by the Bottisham & Lode Cement & Brick Company for grinding cement.
Lord Fairhaven purchased the mill in 1934, to be used as a focal point to the garden, possibly with no intention of having it in working order.

The mill was restored to its current condition in 1982 by the Cambridgeshire Wind and Watermill Society and now grinds corn to produce flour for sale to the public.
The mill can be seen working on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month, water
levels permitting!
