About
This is a working museum open to the public with free entry most Saturdays throughout the year from 11.00 - 15.00 The museum is open and the engine in steam between 13.00 and 16.30 on many Sundays from March through to early December.
This magnificent mill engine, with its two cylinders and 16 foot flywheel can generate over 600 Indicated Horsepower and originally drove some 1,250 weaving looms via its main shaft some 263 feet in length. The Bancroft Mill Engine Trust relies entirely on visitor entrance, donations and membership fees for its day to day running expenses. If you would like to donate, make a bequest or join our band of volunteers to help in this valuable and highly enjoyable work then please visit our website The mill site is disabled friendly with ample parking and on steaming days there are refreshments available, along with a range of original souvenirs, the Bancroft DVD and tea towels woven on our own loom.
