Gimingham

Gimingham is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk.

[2] Gimingham has no shops, but has a church, a pond and a preserved water mill.

It also may have been used in the past as part of the wedding service, with guests waiting there while the groom and bride exchanged their vows in the porch.

[3] A feature of the village is the mill pond which stretches along the western edge of the main street.

The pond is home to many species of water fowl and is very popular with local fisherman.

The area beyond the river is said to have been part of the stew pond, the fish-breeding place of a small monastery.

The one previous to the present building was built in the 18th century of flint, brick and pantiles.

The pit for the original water wheel still remains, as does the old diesel engine, which provided power to the mill for many years.
