Originally a smock windmill, early C18, used for drainage, moved
to its present site in C19 and raised on brick plinth. Now a
three storey cornmill. Timber framed with weatherboarding and
with ogee shaped wood capping with ball finial. Original sails
and fantail. Inside, much of the machinery is intact, including
the windshaft, wallower and main shaft. The great spur wheel on
the ground floor drives two grinding stones on the stone floor.
