The annual Tudor Festival is coming up soon at Stretton Watermill. This is where we take the mill back to 1596 when the lease of the mill was taken over by Ursula Leche of nearby Carden Hall. At that time the mill would have been a thriving business and we try to recreate some of that atmosphere.
There will be Tudor tunes played on period instruments, a storyteller sharing curious happenings and folk tales of millers, a herbalist preparing country cures, along with demonstrations of the ancient machinery as Elizabethan millers grind wheat into flour.
The sergeant of the local militia will also be on the look out for troublemakers, with offenders being placed in the stocks.
Here's the list of offences as fixed to the mill...
The event takes place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July, from 12 noon to 5pm each day. There will be plenty to keep you fascinated. And best of all, the event is completely free! Hope to see you there...
