Tide Mill

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.
