Quetivel Mill is a working watermill in the Parish of St Peter on Jersey. Its history can be traced to 1309[1] and the current building dates from the 18th century.[2]
The mill is to be found close to the Jersey War Tunnels and upstream from Tesson Mill: Quetivel and Tesson are both in the care of the National Trust for Jersey.
Restoration
The mill was derelict by 1934 but was brought back into use during the Occupation of the Channel Islands.
The mill was restored again from 1971 to 1979[1] and the restoration received a commendation from the Civic Trust in 1978.[3] A new water wheel was fitted in 2015.[4]
The mill is open to the public and its operation is occasionally demonstrated, producing flour for sale, but it is not in continuous production.
