Pictured: Conservation worker Jamie Wightman inspects medieval timber floorboards during conservation work at Winchester City Mill. Urgent repairs to the country's oldest working water mill have exposed its medieval structure for the first time in nearly 300 years. The 5th century beams supporting the ancient corn mill were found to be in a bad state of decay, and will be replaced with a new wooden structure. To fix the problem, conservationists have removed the main section of the floor in Winchester City Mill, Hants, meaning that the medieval oak beams are on view for the first time since restoration work in 1744. The mill, which is over a thousand years old, was flooded in 2014 and a survey to assess the water damage revealed that many of the ancient oak beams which support its structure were damaged and decaying.
