Recently built pumping mill, reusing a mill body (octagon) that dates from 1847. The mill has a few unusual features, including a lift which gives access up to the stage level, and a bar and conference/wedding room featuring a grand piano. (That's the advantage of a pumping mill over a corn mill - the only machinery in the body of the mill is the main shaft, which leaves lots of room for other things).
