NATIONAL TRUST IS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP RUN MANOR MILL IN BRANSCOMBE

Branscombe's Manor Mill is currently being restored to its former glory, and the National Trust would like to reopen it to the public this year.

In order for this to happen, the Trust will need assistance from those wishing to volunteer as Mill Guides. The role will entail opening the property, activating the machinery, interacting with visitors, keeping the mill clean and locking up at the end of the session.

Volunteers who are interested in local heritage and who like to share history with others are urged to apply, in the first instance by emailing Martin Jennings-Wright at branscombe@nationaltrust.org.uk, or by calling him on 01297 680507.
