A very kind gentleman dropped in to donate a puddingstone (R) to join our own (L). They are slow-wearing conglomerates of rock, assembled to create tools like quernstones for grinding grain and named after the puddings they resemble. #puddingstone #woodbridgetidemillmuseum

The millrace clears a channel in the mud every time the water wheel turns, providing food for the river birds. #choosewoodbridge #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #woodbridgetidemill #rspb #suffolkaonb #woodbridgehistoricriverside

Engineers were busy this morning lifting the water stone (powered by the tides) in preparation for cleaning or 'dressing'. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #millengineering #woodbridgetidemill #millengineeringdepartment #dressingthestones

An advantage of being a working museum is that your exhibits help maintain it! The trammel was involved in recent millstone dressing. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #millengineering #woodbridgetidemill #millengineeringdepartment
