Maintaining Fosters Mill – home to the Priors Flour

We’ve just come to the end of our first maintenance week for 2026. It takes a huge amount of work and expense each year to keep Fosters Mill in working condition. This year, as the video below explains, we’ve been focusing on sail painting, repairs to the brick work of the tower and maintenance and painting of the fan stage and fantail.

Your flour purchases are what funds this vital work, so thank you for all you continue to do to support us. Hire of a cherry picker alone costs well over £600.00, plus materials and the time of our millwright.

The mill is looking fantastic – enjoy!
