Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Cottonbury Windmill (Corn) (NAT). The site of a windmill, date of demolition unknown, probably pre-1900. <1> <2> Shown on Chapman and Andre map, 1777. <3> Post mill, known as Cottonbury Mill. The round-house stands on the north-east side of Cottonbury Cottage on the north side of the lane from North End (Little Yeldham) to the Belchamps, and in the extreme south-west of the parish. <4> 1998. Survey. The mill is still standing. The upper part of the post mill was removed, probably between 1883 and 1893, but the roundhouse complete with the mill timbers remain. The timbers consist of oak cross-trees, each nearly a foot square in section and over 20 ft long, set on four brick built piers and from the centre where they cross an enormous oak stripped tree trunk rises to the top of the roof. This is the post on which the mill body swivelled and would have extended higher when the mill body was perched on top. Thought to have been constructed around 1750 with the crosstrees originally exposed and the roundhouse added later. A bakeoven built on the back of the mill was almost certainly added after the mill body was taken away. <5> See also: <6>
