In 1999, a pair of heavy Millstones was recovered from the woods near the old Wolston Mill. It was suggested that the stones should be used as a feature on the bank of The Brook, something that would act as a link with the village of the past and the village of the new Millennium. Unfortunately one of the stones disintegrated before it could be used, but the remaining stone was safely installed in August 2000. At the rear of the feature a plaque reads:- Wolston Parish Council Millennium Project Officially unveiled 30th September 2000 This Mill Stone was recovered from the ruins of the old Wolston Mill, and is intended to provide a tangible link with the past. It should be a reminder of our common bond with the people who have gone before and those who will take our place.
