A Tin Tabernacle
Great Moulton Chapel is a once common 'flat pack' chapel found in the regions of East Anglia, Wales and the West Country. Thought to have been supplied by the Norwich firm of Boulton and Paul at the price £105.18s.0d in 1890.
Sunday school was hosted here, being important for the local children with classes of up to 60. When the village built a new chapel in 1990 the building moved 30 miles south to this spot at the Museum of East Anglian Life. Reopening in 1995.

Usually in a watermill the stones are on the second floor. However they are on the ground floor in this example. Most of the ancillary equipment is up here, powered by the belts running off the crownwheel Image

Alton Watermill - Great Spur Wheel and Stone Nut
This view shows the great spur wheel (the large cog) , when running and the cogs are aligned this turns the stone nut (the smaller one). Thus turning the runner stone, grinding the grain into flour. In a windmill the stones are overdriven, a watermill they are underdriven. Coarseness of the flour is monitored by the miller, however to help him (or her) out, a governor is used. Although out of view in this picture it basically uses centrifugal force to move the stones nut up and down via the horizontal bar. The distances involves are fractions of millimetres but that is all that is needed.
