WHITCHURCH SILK MILL was built on the River Test in Hampshire in 1800, during the reign of King George III. Silk has been woven here since the 1820/1830s. The mill produces high quality silks to order for theatrical costume, interior designers and historic houses.

Latest News

We are weaving silk for a number of restoration projects.
