Appeal launched to replace 200 year old window at Crabble Corn Mill

An appeal has been launched to replace 200 year old window at Dover attraction following a break-in earlier this week. A JustGiving crowdfunding page has been set up to raise funds for the special replacement window at Crabble Corn Mill.
 
The Corn Mill was built in 1812 and is the most complete working example of a Georgian watermill in Europe. It is the only working Corn Mill of its kind in Kent and still produces flour.
 
Writing on her JustGiving page, trustee Sharon Keningale said: "The volunteers have been busy for past two months with our Halloween event for which has become a much-needed fundraiser for us".
 
She continued: "Unfortunately, last night we were broken into, a 200-year-old window has been damaged to the point it cannot be repaired, and will need a new one crafted that complies to listing regulations."
 
"This is not cheap, and will unfortunately use all our fundraising efforts made for this weekend. To claim on our insurance would prove far costly as premiums would rise."
 
The Mill is solely run and staffed by volunteers, and is completely self-funded. Income comes from visitors, events and individual donations.
