Shalford Mill

Shalford Mill

Shalford Mill is an 18th century watermill located on the River Tillingbourne in Shalford, near Guildford, Surrey, England. Since 1932 it has been owned by the National Trust.

The Domesday Book records a mill being present on the site in 1086 - one of the five mills recorded as part of the great manor of Bramley. In the 15th century, the mill was owned by 'John atte Lee'. In the 16th by Sir Edmund Walsingham and in 1599 it was sold to George Austen. The timber-framed building remained in use until 1914.

It was restored to its former glory by a group known as 'Ferguson's Gang', in conjunction with the National Trust. In return, the trust created a hideaway in the mill for the gang's meetings – designed by architect John Macgregor, AKA 'The Artichoke'.
