Woodbridge Tide Mill Museums
Stay with us a while and learn about the history of this important mill, enjoy a guided tour and perhaps be inspired to come and visit us.
Woodbridge is a delightful small Suffolk town, proud of its many old buildings and its long history. For mill enthusiasts we include details here of a magnificent 19th century brick tower mill, Buttrums Mill, at the top of the town. Links will take you on to other sites related to Woodbridge. The year 2002 promises to be a most exciting one for all who live locally. The Sutton Hoo Ship Burial site, now looked after by the National Trust, has opened a magnificent new visitor centre. There is going to be a ferry running from the quayside, near us, across the river. Visitors will be able to walk up to the new visitor centre.
A mill has stood where the Tide Mill now stands since the twelfth century. The first reference to a mill here occurs in a document dated 1170, giving one Baldwin of Ufford easier access to the building. During the middle ages, the mill was owned by the Augustinian Canons, housed in their Priory in the centre of town. We can be sure that they exercised their 'soke rights', compelling their tenants to send their corn to the mill to be ground and collecting their fixed portion. In 1340, a survey for a tax voted to Edward III valued the tithe of the mill at three shillings per annum. .
