About
Charity & Museum
There has been a mill at Coldharbour, Uffculme, since the time of the Domesday Book, with the current woollen mill in continuous production since 1797. Today Coldharbour Mill is run as a charity (no. 1123386) and remains recognised by English Heritage who wrote a Historic Buildings Report (B/065/2001) about the mill complex, and described the site as "probably one of the best-preserved textile mill complexes in the country. It retains the full range of buildings and power system features which characterised the development of the 19th century textile mill with much of the machinery that was used at the site in the 20th century."
With an unrivalled collection of heritage machinery, social & textile archives and wide-ranging power sources still in daily use, the mill is now thriving, providing education, visitor experiences and volunteering opportunities that help promote social wellbeing and combat isolation.
Visitors to the Mill can explore 12 acres of Victorian Woollen Mill, Boilers, Steam engines and Mill grounds. Discover our working and static exhibits, steam boilers and engines and discover more about how this ignited the industrial revolution in the southwest from the early 19th century. Explore nationally important exhibits and history of the Fox Family and their businesses alongside our Quaker history and their impact on the early adoption of social reforms.
You can adventure in our 12 acre estate which includes 10 acres of wetland, wildlife and Mill pond which is under restoration and see our 18th century water wheel in action - the biggest breast-shot waterwheel still in action in the UK.
Volunteering
Our volunteers are what make Coldharbour Mill special, with each person keeping the mill running, preserving it for future generations. Whether you can spare a few hours or join us regularly we'd love to talk to you.
Our Volunteers were awarded the King's Award for Voluntary Service in 2023, for their contribution to our community - and you can join us too!
There are a wide range of ways in which you could contribute to the Mills success, so get in touch to find our more.
