Howsham Mill is built on the site of an earlier mill. It mills flour for the Howsham Estate for almost 200 years

The last miller leaves in 1947, the land is sold and the building falls into disrepair. The roof destroyed by fire and the building is surrounded by dense woodland

The Renewable Heritage Trust is formed to save the building, they begin a decade of work to rescue and restore the building and its waterwheel

In 2006 The Howsham Mill features on the TV show 'Restoration Village' and six years later the rebuild finally begins
