The forge will be open to visitors on Saturday and Sunday from 2pm until 5pm each day.

There are two working waterwheels, a large mill pool and a small museum, with examples of spades, shovels and ladles produced by the forge during its working life, along with an archive of photographs and original documents.

Machinery is still in place, though not, at present, in use.

The forge is in the village of Churchill, four miles north east of Kidderminster, between the A451 and A456.

New volunteers are needed to help with clerical matters, such as secretarial, publicity and general administration.

Anyone who would like to help is asked to telephone 01562 823064 for information.

The trust is a registered charity. The property is listed and lies within a conservation area.
