Combe Sawmill Steaming Sunday in July
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.
Combe Sawmill Steaming Sunday in August
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.
