What Did a Medieval Village Do When Its Mill Broke

What did a medieval village do when its mill broke? See how a medieval village mill failure disrupted grain, bread, work, and the practical choices that kept households fed until grinding could resume. The episode follows waterwheel repair, a timber axle, wooden gears, millstones, the leat and sluice, grain sacks, hand querns, ovens, hearths, and the road to another mill. It shows how a medieval village mill connected milling routines with bread, pottage, ale, household labor, carting timber, and the daily work of millers, carpenters, and millwrights. The video is built on historical evidence and archaeological research, and focuses on ordinary people rather than kings, battles and nobility.
