Hornsbury Mill
Hornsbury Mill is a beautifully restored early-nineteenth-century wedding venue in Somerset. Their corn mill is constructed of local flint stone, elmwood beams and timbers, and fine old ham stone mullion windows.
The Mill's earliest record is a lease from 1327, which refers to "Homesbogh alias Hornysbowe." This places Hornsbury among the earliest in the area, but it is believed that the oldest part of the current building dates only from 1835.
In 1973, the Crossman family converted Hornsbury Mill into a museum and opened it to the public.
Several names and dates were discovered carved into the beams or pencilled onto the walls and woodwork during the conversion, and can still be seen in some of the hotel bedrooms today.
Hornsbury Mill is now a well-established 4* hotel and restaurant that offers a lovely setting for weddings.
Many of the original elements of the old mill have been preserved thanks to careful and sympathetic conversion and refurbishment, making it a fascinating wedding venue in Somerset full of charm and character.
