At the windmill the man to told us about wheat and how to grow it and we ate some bread.
Afterwards we went up the mill and saw how the wheat got ground.
the floors were:-
main floor,
grinding fioor,
bin floor,
chain floor,
sail control floor.
Outside there was a broken bit of wood. it was quite long and rotten it was an ancient sail for the wind mill.
We then went in a shead with an old-fashioned engine.
When the mill stopped working (not enough wind) they would get the engine on and it would get the sails going.
After we went over to the fen.
Mr Langston told us about the fen the dry grazing area and the area of wetland created by the LOHP. We went to investigate, some of us unfortunately found that we had holes in our wellies!
