Broad Eye Windmill (Stafford) 
originally known as The Friends of Broad Eye Windmill,
was formed in 1966 to promote the creation of a local industrial heritage museum and education centre
within the building. The exterior was to be restored similar to that which might have been seen in the 1920's.
Although planning permission was granted in May 1999 it was not until May 2002 that a lease was granted
permitting the work to commence.
Since that time the Borough Council have expressed an interest in using part of the mill for its Cultergen Project.
A partnership is being formed to facilitate that objective.

Stafford Morris Men
A bunch of enthusiasts of all ages, who enjoy good company, good exercise, good ale and good music.
We maintain the traditions of old England by Morris Dancing, Sword Dancing, Playing, Singing and Mumming.
When pressed (or better still, paid, or possibly given beer), we perform a variety of Cotswold Morris dances
from several village traditions.
We specialise in the Lichfield tradition from our nearby cathedral city.
We usually throw in a couple of solo jigs and maybe some Long Sword. We may even try to dance Rapper Sword,
if we can find a team who have done enough practice to avoid chopping off their fingers.
In the Winter months, around Christmas, we may amaze you with our (almost) traditional Mummers Play

locations around the area.
Practices begin again in January and run on till April; after that we are often "Dancing out" during the Summer.
We would be interested to meet potential new members either at a practice session or on any of our dancing spots.

Only churches will be viewed internally.
