What Type Of Watermill Is Flatford Mill?

A water mill is a water wheel or turbine that is connected to a device that drives a mechanical process. Water mills can be used for such purposes as grinding flour or agricultural produce, cutting up materials such as pulp or timber, or metal shaping. Traditional water mills are made from a wheel or turbine with wooden blades that turn when water runs through. The turbine or wheel then turns a grinder shaft, which is connected to a grinding stone.
