Description: | REMAINS OF GREBBY WINDMILL;NOW PART OF A HOUSE. {1}{2}
This once attractive tower mill is dated "I.E.1812" and replaced a post mill. It was worked in later days by Dobson in conjunction with their mill at Burgh le Marsh. By 1946 only two sails remained and work finally ceased in late 1949. The last pair of sails were taken to Cross in Hand post mill in Sussex where they were converted to fit a stock and continued to work until 1969. The cap and ironwork were taken away c.1963 after which it was allowed to stand derelict. In 1977 the tower stood intact with the wooden upright shaft and two pairs of stones, one pair of which was taken to Burgh mill. The tower has been converted to a house, gaining a large addition to one side and a rather odd "cap". A large datestone "1983" has been inserted into the tower to record this transformation. In 1985 the mill and house were incomplete and unoccupied.{3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology Windmills | Temporal: | 1812 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
