Enjoy Autumn at Combe Mill with our displays of country skills and crafts at this steam- and water- powered sawmill and workshop. Our working historic clock collection is also well worth seeing. Plus other special craft displays.

Combe Mill shows off its water-power together with the usual working beam engine, small steam engines, stationary engines and demonstrations of craft tools. Also see the Cornish boiler, beam engine, waterwheel, blacksmith forge, wood-turning and belt-shafting all working.

Visiting steam rollers and traction engines will add to the usual impressive show of steam and water power at this Victorian sawmill and workshop that once served Blenheim Estate. Power to turn the sawmill machinery was delivered from under the workshop floor by means of pulleys and belts long ago removed from the undercroft. However, quite a lot still remains in the museum building and visitors may still see the line shafting and belts in operation and driving exhibits.

See Combe Mill's double blacksmiths forge at work and try your hand at making something.  Other visiting blacksmiths will demonstrate their skills. Steam- and water-powered machinery will be running as usual. This site was the workshop for Blenheim Palace Estate and not just a timber mill. Upstairs in the Mill building was the pattern shop. The Cornish boiler, beam engine, waterwheel, blacksmith forge, wood-turning and belt-shafting can all be seen working.

Fathers' Day treat at Combe Mill, where Dad can enjoy seeing steam and water power at work in the Victorian sawmill and workshop. We will have something for children to do or make too.

Fathers will be given a special welcome and a small 'prezzy'.  See the beam engine operate the workshop equipment. See the Cornish boiler, beam engine, waterwheel, blacksmith forge, wood-turning and belt-shafting can all be seen worki

Combe Mill celebrates spring with its usual treasures of steam and water-powered machinery, and its riverside picnic area. See displays by the Eynsham Morris Men between 1 and 3 pm.

Power for the Mill was usually taken from the water wheel unless the River Evenlode was running too low to power the wheel. When this happened the steam engine was used until 1912 as the source of power. See the beam engine operate the workshop equipment.

Come along to Combe Mill to see our working beam engine and line shafting together with the restored waterwheel.  Demonstrations of craftsmen™ tools together with our collection of working historic tower clocks make for an enjoyable visit.
