Windmill. Dated 1822. Coursed squared limestone, wrought-iron railings.
7 storeys, the tapering tower remains, the sails missing. West side: flight
of 10 steps to a raised entrance with C20 door and the date '1822' incised
on the lintel. Blocked doorway above and to right; 4 tiers of small square
windows on this side, with a flat lintel to lowest window and flat arches to
upper 3; all with slightly projecting stone sills and 4-pane frames or C20
2-pane frames. 2 rows of socket holes at second-storey level indicate
position of former external platform on the north and western side of the
mill, giving access to the sails. 3 tiers of windows on north side, with an
'upper floor loading door; 7 tiers of windows on east side, the 2 lowest
having lintels, the remainder flat arches. The top has a railing above a
projecting band. Interior: the basement has 2 original timber pillars
supporting upper floors, not examined at resurvey. The mill lacks the cap
and sails with tail pole which used to turn the sails into the wind, but
remains one of the most complete windmills surviving in the county. The
railings at the top suggest that it was used as a viewing tower after
milling ceased.
