Ellis Mill
Imagine yourself stepping into the world of milling history, learning about a windmill’s essential contribution to the city’s history, and then sharing these fascinating stories with visitors. This could be your journey as a volunteer with us.
Learn more about the windmill and milling history.
Our 1798 Grade II listed windmill, located in uphill Lincoln, is opening its doors this year for the Heritage Weekends and possibly the first Saturday of each month from March to September. Although no longer in full operation, the windmill holds a wealth of history and stories about the millers who were still making flour there until recent years.
As a volunteer, you will welcome visitors, guide them around the ground floor and outside the Mill, and share the captivating stories about the working life of the millers. You’ll also have the opportunity to sell souvenirs, further contributing to our mission.
We provide full induction and training on the history of the Mill and your role as a guide. Support will be provided throughout your time as a volunteer. So, step into the past, bring history to life for others, and become a part of our dedicated team.
