Site of post-medieval windmill, Near Old Moor Farm (EHER 12165)

Now destroyed. Site of a windmill, shown on a map of 1610. It appears to have stood in front of Old Moor House. A drone photograph from 2025 may show the precise location of the windmill, discernable as a cross-shaped cropmark, possibly with a circular ditch encircling the cross.

Site of a windmill, shown on a map of 1610. It appears to have stood in front of Old Moor House. The owners claim to have found the foundations of the mill. <1> <2> Not shown on the Chapman and Andre map, but a small mound is shown adjacent to a property called Moor Hill, possibly a mill-mound. <3> NRHE data transfer: Site of windmill shown on map of 1610 (VP). <4> Information added after NRHE data transfer: A drone photograph taken by the landowner and shared with the HER appears to show the exact location of the windmill within the field. The photograph displays a cross-shaped cropmark, possibly with the partial remains of a circular ditch encircling the cross. It is broadly central to the field. There does not appear to be any earthwork mound. <5> It is possible that the cropmark feature is also discernable on the 2005 aerial image from Google Earth, and a version of this image with the cropmark feature circled was also shared with the HER. <6> <7> A series of maps from 1610, 1755, 1777 and 1790 were also shared with the HER and show the windmill at this location. <7>
