Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
A windmill (corn) depicted on the 1st ed OS map. <1>
The mill ceased work in about 1910 and demolished in 1945. This was a smock mill constructed in the late 18th century. It is marked on the Ordnance Survey map of 1799 but not on Chapman and Andre 1777. The mill itself was very squat, consisting of a bricked ground floor with two floors in the smock frame above, access to which was by boarded stairs. There was a minimum of ironwork throughout. There was an all-wooden windshaft carrying a pair of single-shuttered spring sails and a pair of commons turning anti-clockwise. <2>
