Osney Mill

While the mill was gutted by a fire in 1945 and remained derelict for over 60 years, the exterior walls were incorporated into a modern apartment building during the early-2010s that now occupies the site.

Little is left of the abbey, but there is still a rubble and timber-framed structure at the mill site, which may date from the 15th century.

In 1895, William Henry Munsey came to Oxford after his farming business in Cambridgeshire was affected by foot and mouth disease.

The mill produced flour for bread but was destroyed by fire in 1945.

It was decided not to rebuild Osney Mill and the business moved to Wantage, south of Oxford, although the family still owns the site.
