A new health campaign called Whole Grain for Health (WGFH) shows consumption of whole grain food could save almost 24,000 lives each year in the UK alone.
The problem is most Britons do not know what whole grain food is, do not eat it and are not aware of the significant health benefits.

Buttrum’s Mill
Situated on the outskirts of Woodbridge Sign posted from the A12 the mill was built in 1836 and was the pinnacle of mill engineering at the time. It operated as a mill up until the 1930’s.
It was unusual as the ground floor was used as a shop, and as then today you can buy our range of whole grain foods,the door bell is still working. The mill was restored in the 1980’s by Suffolk County Council and is supported by Woodbridge Town Council. It is in an excellent state of repair. The sails work and all the machinery is intact and the view from the gallery over the river Debon is spectacular.
The Mill will be open for visits by the general public between 3 May and 28 September

Woodbridge Tide Mill
This is a rare example of a tide mill whose water wheel still turns.
The mill has been preserved and is open to the public, its machinery reflects the skills and achievements of the early Industrial Revolution. The mill is a three storey building constructed from wood. Externally it is clad in white Suffolk boarding and has a Mansard roof. The reservoir constructed for demonstration purposes is roughly half an acre in extent, the original 7 acre one is now a marina. It is a Grade I listed building.
The first recording of a tide mill on this site was in 1170; it is unknown how many mills have stood here. The mill, which was operated by the local Augustinian priory in the Middle Ages, was acquired by Henry VIII at the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536.
By the outbreak of World War II the mill was one of the few still operating. In 1957 it closed as the last commercially operating tide mill in Britain.
