As a regular attender of Bentley Priory Museum's excellent Friday Morning Talks, getting an opportunity to fully explore the site and speak with several of the people bringing the stories of the place alive was a real treat.

Exploring a thousand years of history... priory, mansion house, royal residence, hotel, school, Headquarters RAF Fighter Command and Strike Command, and today's museum.

A short walk from Ditchling takes me to Oldland Windmill where I catch up with some of the mill's volunteers to learn about the history of the mill, the restoration project, and, now that it is once again producing flour, the work that continues to keep it in running order.
