On the 27th October 2018 ~ I visited this very old Water Mill next to the River Stour at Sturminster Marshall in the county of Dorset. It stands in the manor of Shapwick and was purchased by Henry Bankes of Kingston Lacy house in 1773. He found having purchased it that although there was a resident miller called John Joyce no rent was forthcoming from this property. An agreement between John Joyce and Henry Bankes was that a sum of £20 per annum would be paid by Joyce to Henry Bankes the owner if he rebuilt and then maintained the mill. The cost of all this came to about £370.00 a huge amount then in today's value it would amount to about £300,000. The National Trust has since spent about that sum of money since taking over the running of White Mill.
The main building is built of brick except the Wheel Chamber which is built of stone. The stone work dates back to around the 14th Century in the period the then Duke of Lancaster held the manor as a grant from the then King. Radiocarbon dating was used to determine the dating to the 14th Century and was then reinforced by the fact that timbers used in the foundations of the beautiful stone bridge that spans the River Stour next to this mill. There is no definite date that can be attributed to this beautiful stone built bridge. However there are references to a bridge across this river dating back to records as far back as 1175. It is thought that the bridge in the current form could well have been built in he 16th Century. This structure is formed by eight semicircular stone arches with piers that are protected by cut waters it was an unusual construction for a bridge made about this time because the parapets were 12 feet apart.
White Mill, is part of the Kingston Lacy estate and is a former watermill that was last rebuilt in 1776 and in use until the end of the 19th century. It is likely that a mill has been on this site since at least the 14th century with references to Wytemull in historic documents dating from 1341. Unusually, whereas most geared wheels seen today are cast-iron, White Mill contains all wooden machinery which would tear out if the machinery if a jam occured and but could be relatively easily replaced. Although now too fragile to ever work again, the mill and its interior have been restored to a display condition by the National Trust, who were bequeathed the Kingston Lacy estate in 1982, and is open for guided tours between March and November ( see National Trust website for opening times and dates ). The scenery and country side around this old mill is outstanding and is a reminder of days gone by when horses were the main transport. The volunteers at this venue are first class, they are pleasant and knowledgeable and give a good account of the history of the building.

Andy's National Trust Travel Blogs: White Mill, Kingston Lacy Estate
White Mill is a restored 18th-century corn mill on the banks of the River Stour, which still retains its original machinery made from elm and apple wood. Though the wooden machinery is too fragile to be used, it has been restored to its original state.
The mill was built in 1776 on the site of a mill that had stood at the time of the Domesday Book. The mill ran on water power until 1866, when a severe flood damaged the water channels beyond repair That was the end to commercial milling on the site, but the miler converted half of the mill to run on a steam engine so he could grind flour to bake bread. In the early 20th century the mill fell out of use completely, and it was not restored until 1994.
The mill is a part of the Kingston Lacy estate and is managed by the National Trust.

White Mill, Wimborne, 13th May 2016
I had some time to kill and I knew more-or-less where White Mill was so I paid a visit. I have never seen May Flies like it, all the clip needed was a few fish jumping out of the water to catch them, but there were none. There is a real rabbit warren of little roads in Dorset and lots of little villages with oldie-worldy names, so plenty to explore. I was using a Panasonic HC V520, the picture quality is good but the sound not so good, I am planning on getting an external mic. for it.

Sturminster Newton Mill 4k Mavic Pro
Not flown since i got my first Mavic Pro due to a focus issue so it had to be replaced. After a month of waiting I am back in the air and learning the limits and capabilities of the Mavic Pro.
I've wanted to film around this area for a while but wanted the right weather to get the best from the Mavic so when a sunny but hazy day came along, I could wait no longer and i gave it a try.
