In the 17th Century Bromham Mill was a fully active water-powered mill. In 1920 a steam engine was installed to provide extra power, but by then the technology had become outdated. The Bromham Mill & Gallery has now been renovated so that visitors can marvel at the intelligently crafted mill equipment and the beautiful 7 acres of water meadows it is situated in. The Mill is open to the public on Sundays and selected Bank Holidays.
