Historic Mill housing inactive waterwheel & steam engine. Approach by canal footpath from chalford.
St Mary’s Mill is ‘one of the best preserved millsites’ in the Stroud valleys, set in beautiful countryside. The early 19th century mill contains a large mid 1800s waterwheel and an early 20th century Tangye steam engine. Neither is in working order. Parts of the last working fulling stocks in Gloucestershire are also on show.
The site is rich in other, transport, interest as the road, railway and canal are squeezed together beside the mill. To access the mill from the road people have to cross by one of the few manned railway crossings surviving in Gloucestershire. Visitors walk along the canal towpath from the industrial village of Chalford, a distance of about 1 kilometre. Disabled visitors can park at the mill.
The Trust opens it on three Sunday afternoons for booked tours. Visitors can learn about the history of the mill and the processes involved.
