More about this scene
Facing us is Abbey Mill, whose origins date back eight centuries to the time when monks from the Benedictine monastery diverted the River Avon to power the mill to grind the corn that made their daily bread. For a time in the mid 19th century the mill fell out of use, but it achieved some celebrity by featuring as Abel Fletcher's mill in the successful Victorian novel John Halifax, Gentleman by Mrs Craik, whose memorial can be seen in the abbey church.
