Norfolk Mills & Pumps Trust
Report of the Trustees (continued)
For the year ended 31 March 2025
Objectives and Activities
Principal Objectives The objectives of the trust are the preservation (including maintenance and improvement) for the benefit of the people of the County of Norfolk and of the nation at large of: -
-
a) Windmills, watermills and windpumps of beauty or historic interest or the sites and remains of former windmills, windpumps and watermills;
-
b) Machinery for milling corn, saw milling, grist milling, paper milling and other similar industrial purposes or pumping water howsoever powered; and
-
Cc) Buildings and machinery ancillary to and occupied with such mills, sites or machinery.
Public benefit
The Trustees have taken due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The Trustees consider the charity provides a public benefit as it provides the maintenance to historical buildings.
The Trust maintains 21 mills and associated buildings. They are icons in the landscape and are an integral part of the heritage of Norfolk. The properties can be seen by the public when driving around the county, from boats on the rivers or when walking on public footpaths. Many of the properties still have their machinery in place, which can be inspected when they are open to the public, on a regular basis. This is a reminder of the skills of our ancestors.
Achievements and Performance
Review of Activities
How Hill Mills (Turf Fen, Boardman’s and Clayrack) — The Trust are working with the County Council on progressing projects to restore the mills at How Hill. At Turf Fen Mill, procurement was completed for a Conservation Accredited Professional with the contract signed in June. Following procurement for a contractor there was shortfall in project funding, and a further application was submitted to Historic England. Work continues to appoint a contractor for the works. At Boardman’s Mill the works are on hold whilst work is focused on Turf Fen Mill. A response was received to the project enquiry submitted to the National Lottery for a wider project at How Hill including works to Clayrack Mill. Work continues to assess the response and agree the way forward for a project to restore Clayrack Mill.
Stracey Arm's Mill (Mill and Marsh Folk Project) - At Stracey Arms Mill the works outstanding from the Mill & Marsh Folk Project were completed. The works included fitting the shutters in the sails, fitting the chain pole, completing the brake mechanism, fitting a lightening conductor and work to the turbine chamber.
High’s Mill, Halvergate — Four bolt through door hinge pintles have been produced to replace the more modern ones currently on site. These are yet to be fitted.

Reserves Policy
It is the intention of the trustees to use substantially all of the Trust's income towards preservation work on an annual basis and therefore there are no plans to build up the level of the General Fund. As at 31 March 2024 there were free reserves with unrestricted fixed assets exceeding net current assets by £357,477. The Trust has designated funds of £80,343 representing £5,000 to cover maintenance and £75,343 which has been allocated to specific works required over the forthcoming years. Restricted funds of £47,391 were held at 31 March 2024.
Government Grant Accounting Policy
Recognition of Income and Expenditure Activity is accounted for in the year that it takes place, not simply when cash payments are made or received. Government grants and third-party contributions are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that The Norfolk Windmill Trust will fulfil the conditions attached to the payments, and the grants or contributions will be received. Generally, the grants or contributions are shown in the Balance Sheet.
|
Plans for Future Periods
In 2025/26 the Trust would like to complete the procurement process and appoint a contractor for Turf Fen Mill and programme the start of works on site. At Boardman’s Mill the Trustees would like to see applications for funding to be submitted for the shortfall to the project and would like works to be programmed to start in 2026. At Clayrack Mill the Trust working with the County Council would like to see the development of a project to restore the mill.
The Trust would like to see the repairs and painted completed at St Olave’s Mill, as well as repairs and redecoration carried out at Ashtree Farm Mill.
The Trust are looking to apply for grant funding towards the redecoration and repairs at Runham Swim Mill and if successful would like to programme and complete the works in 2026.
At the Wicklewood Mill site the Trust would like to carry out works to rectify the damp issues at No.53 and develop a project for the repairs required to the mill.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
The Trust is administered by the trustees, three of whom are appointed by Norfolk County Council, two by the Broads Authority, and up to four of whom are co-opted trustees.
The tenure of office of a trustee is normally five years. A trustee appointed by a body continues as an appointee of that body even if he or she ceases to be a member of the appointing body, similarly a coopted member continues to be treated as a co-opted member even if subsequently he or she becomes a member of one of the appointing bodies. The trustees shown on the statutory information page were either in post during the year or at the date the accounts were approved.
Trustees Induction and Training
On appointment Trustees are provided with:
-
The Charity's Trust Deed
-
The latest accounts of the Trust
-
Details of Charity Commission guidance notes CC3 "The Essential Trustee"
In addition, trustees are encouraged to read Charity Commission and other newsletters and to attend courses designed to keep them abreast of their duties and responsibilities.

The board of trustees, who meet quarterly, administer the charity with assistance from Norfolk County Council.
Risk management
The trustees are aware of the Charities Commission recommendation to review the risks to which the trust is exposed. The trust regularly reviews the risks and ways to mitigate these.
Related parties
The charity has a close relationship with Norfolk County Council, which owns many of the properties maintained by the trust.

e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently e observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102) e make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
