A
new exhibition at the National Trust’s Winchester
City Mill features the story of bread from growing
and harvesting the wheat through milling the flour
to baking and delivering the bread. The story is
told through archive film, historic photographs from
local collections and recorded stories of people
from the past. A selection of farming and bread
making implements will also be displayed and
visitors are invited to contribute their own
memories of farming scenes or local bakeries in the
last century. The mill opens between 11am and
4.30pm from Wednesday to Sunday in term time and
daily in all Hampshire school holidays. The
exhibition runs from 1 May and until 31 October and
is included in the normal mill admission charges
(Adults £3.40, Children £1.70, Families £8.50,
