Meet the Trustees and Friends

Want to see who’s involved with running the windmill? And read all about them?

You can now view specially taken portraits of the Trustees and Friends and find out what they do – and why they do it!

Over the last few months, Trustee and professional photographer Ashley Franklin has been taking portraits at the mill of all the people who effectively keep the sails turning.

These include: the Trustees, the ‘guardians’ of the windmill who ensure that it is properly financed and operated; and the Friends, the volunteers who manage and maintain the mill – these include the millers, guides, event organisers and visitor centre staff.

More profiles will be added right up to the season opening on April 5.

Heage Windmill is open every Saturday and Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday from April to the end of October, 11am to 4pm. For Admission Prices, Details of Group and School Visits and Where to Find us, click here >

In the early 19th century, Britain had 10,000 windmills. Heage Windmill experienced fluctuating fortunes until the Heage Windmill Society was formed in 1995. To discover Heage Windmill's history and how it was restored to working order, click here >

All our flour is stoneground at the windmill from wheat grown in this country and can normally be bought at the mill during visiting times, and at Bakewell Farmers' Markets every month. For more about our flour, click here >

Heage Windmill cannot operate without volunteers, so why not join us? To read more about the different ways you can help - as a miller, guide, working in the shop or helping out at the farmers' markets, click here >
