Judy Cooper
A Miller and his Mill (Warney Mill, Darley Dale)
Judith Cooper is the great-great grand daughter of John Else who was the miller at Warney Mill, Darley Dale. Using evidence found in the papers left by him she will paint a picture of the life of a rural miller and the craftspeople he worked with in the mid-19th century. This talk details the work not just of the mill and its farm but also of the craftspeople and specialists who helped rebuild the mill, and those who bought flour and other products from the mill.
