Gunton Sawmill

Gunton Sawmill Heritage preserved water powered sawmill. The mill is kept in working order and run by volunteers.

Situated on the Gunton estate not far from Cromer on the north Norfolk coast, Gunton Sawmill is an extremely rare working example of an estate sawmill powered by water. The building is of truly rustic construction being timber framed with the Norfolk reed thatched roof and was constructed in the 1820s to house a unique frame saw with the vertical reciprocating blades thus illustrating the first st

eps from hand to power sawing by a mechanised pit saw. The water to power the water wheels comes from the ornamental lake in front of the imposing hall built in 1742 for Sir William Harbord.

The friends and volunteers of Gunton Sawmill are naturally extremely concerned at this situation and would value help with sharing this post with anyone you think could help and also in letting the Heritage Projects team at Norfolk Council know how much Gunton Sawmill means to you and the importance of getting it open and operating again as soon as possible. Thank you.

2024 marks the 200th anniversary of Gunton Sawmill, the only water powered sawmill still in action today. A small ‘celebration’ was held on Sunday 9 June 2024 by way of thanking the many volunteers who have freely given of their time, energy and many skills in order to keep the Sawmill running and open to visitors so they can come and experience in real life terms, what life was like 200 years ago. A huge thank you volunteers for all your time and efforts!gov.uk
