Description

The Tide Mill is a historic water mill located at Tide Mill Quay, with origins dating back to the 12th century. An early charter records that Baldwin de Ufford granted the tithes of the mill to the Austin Canons of Woodbridge Priory. In 1532, the Canons expressed concerns about the costs of maintaining the mill. Following the Dissolution in 1564, the mill was granted to Thomas Seckford. The current structure likely dates from the 17th century and features five storeys with a mansard roof, which is timber-framed and now covered with corrugated iron sheeting. The internal mechanism has been updated over the years and was recently operational.

Local climate

Tide Mill sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 61% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 82% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
