Next Talk is on 27th January 2025 - Bathford Parish Hall at 8:00pm."Bathford Mill through the ages and today" by Andy Nash, Managing Director Portals - Bathford Mill is recorded in the Domesday Book and was probably in operation for many years before that date. It then owned 12 acres of Meadow and was worth ten pounds, a sum today that is incalculable. It used to grind, amongst others, corn and fullers earth and was an important source of employment in the village. Today, it is a high-tech high-value enterprise, producing security paper for passports, certificates and so on, and for an international market. So, the Mill has been around for a long time and is likely to be here for at least the foreseeable future. Andy will tell the story of the Mill; past, present and future. |
